I just had a quick skim of those docs, looks like lots of paragraphs going over all of all the things that can go wrong and how to prevent them. Good. If it takes a week to read all that and set up then it takes a week. I'll take a pass on the "docker container that just does it for me" thanks.
I've not read that page from end to end, only scanned through it, but it seems perfectly good for covering the concept, with one caveat that it might not include a detail I'd put in there. Unless I missed it in my scan the page may be missing a point that seems obvious but relatively green admins might miss until they run it of backup space (or start getting larger bills for the auto-growing cloud storage they are backing up to!): your WAL based backups will grow infinitely, and restore time will grow likewise, if you don't occasionally restart your backup sequence with a fresh full backup.
It is, yes. It does contain a lot of information, but the fact that it's one big wall of text makes my ADHD go do something else. Even a table of contents, or some better-structured headlines would help.
