docker network create app-net

docker run -d --name=xbackbone --restart=always --network=app-net \

    -v /opt/xbackbone/config:/config \
    linuxserver/xbackbone

Note:

• If you want to change max upload size, append the following lines to the php-local.ini file:

echo 'upload_max_filesize = 50M' | sudo tee -a /opt/xbackbone/config/php/php-local.ini

echo 'post_max_size = 50M' | sudo tee -a /opt/xbackbone/config/php/php-local.ini

To apply changes, restart container:

docker restart xbackbone
