🔐 Simple Encrypted Backup for Docker Compose / Homelab

This project provides a simple, dockerized backup solution for homelab or self-hosted services using Docker Compose.

It is designed to:

• 🔄 Automatically back up entire service folders
• 🔐 Encrypt the backups using GPG (AES-256, password-based)
• ☁️ Upload the encrypted archive to any rclone-compatible remote (Google Drive, S3, WebDAV, etc.)
• 🐳 Run rclone via Docker — no installation needed
• 🧩 Be fully configurable
• 🕒 Schedule daily backup via cron

---

🎯 Purpose

This tool is built for:

• 🏡 Homelab users
• 🐳 Docker Compose projects
• 💾 Anyone who needs secure and simple full-directory backups
• Without the need for backup software like restic or duplicacy
