Great!

I wish I knew about this tool sooner.

A few days back I wanted to quickly restore a dspace backup on a substitute 
server. Docker install came to mind, so I tried that... and it proved kind 
of disastrous.
I spent a few hours and had partial success, managed to restore postgres 16 
database in docker (but not in postgres docker from dspace, as it is v15 
for some reason). I also managed to run UI in docker, but I had to build 
/dist on the host. 
But API... it was always restarting... due to some error(s), obviously. The 
docker log shows absolutely nothing useful (same as pm2 log in host 
install), and I could not explore anything inside the docker because it was 
just restarting. It was late so I just gave up.

Overall, it was kind of useful experience, at least I learned docker a bit, 
but I could easily have dspace installed and restored to the host server in 
those 2-3 hours...

Next time I would try your tool in SSH or VM.

WBR, Andrew
