I am always amazed how these github pages often have 0 information what the software is actually doing.
For this one too you need to follow a link on the mainpage to get to a different site that tells you its for backups. I might have missed the word backup on the github page though… Ah no, it is mentioned a few times but the context makes it hard to get that’s the purpose of the software.
That’s because linuxserver focuses on creating docker images for existing projects.
Usually if you check a product on linuxserver.io is because you know already the product and you want to find a good quality docker (docker compose) image.
All the github and docker pages from linuxserver have the same structure and after the generic intro they present the project.
Personally I love what they’re doing but I understand your confusion, it was the same for me when I first knew of the project.
If it wasn’t for this comment, I’d have moved on never knowing what it is for. I’m not going to dig my way across the internet to figure out what something is, if it’s worth looking at someone will actually say what it is and what it does.
