Ideally you shouldn't have to backup /var/lib/docker, as your docker configs should live in your docker-compose.yaml or whatever you use to start your docker containers.

Also I have included backing up /etc confs in my original post.

I agree on the brew list being incomplete, totally forgot about casks. Not even sure if they work correctly under Linux to be honest. I literally just use brew for golang and awscli :P

Re Docker I said volumes, not config. Some volumes you might have mapped to the host and maybe picked a home subdirectory, but others maybe not. For example the Ollama 3rd party UI `open-web-ui` suggests to run it like this in their documentation:

`docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main`

Then "open-webui" will be in `/var/lib/docker/volumes/open-webui/`.

Sure you can change it, but what I mean is that a lot of software by itself, or by you following documentation, puts data that you usually want to back up outside of your home.
