I'm currently running AdGuard on my Raspberry Pi and syncing its configuration file with a NAS for backups. Now, I want to host AdGuard in a Docker container on my Home Server. Since AdGuard doesn't allow importing backup files via the GUI, my plan is to replace the stock configuration file located at /etc/adguardhome with one from my backup. I'm new to Docker and I'm unsure if this process is feasible. Any suggestions?

You don't actually need to SSH into the container. Instead, you can directly run a bash shell inside it using the command `docker exec -it your_container_name bash`. This way, you won't need to set up an SSH server inside your container. If you want to replace the configuration file, consider using a bind mount to link your configuration folder to the container, rather than manually replacing files after the container is running.
The best approach is to use a bind mount for the configuration directory. You can do this by adding a line like `volumes: - ./adguardhome/config:/opt/adguardhome/conf` in your Docker setup. That way, you can edit the `AdGuardHome.yaml` file directly from the host using a tool like VSCode over SSH, and your changes will persist even after container restarts.
Exactly! This method ensures your configuration files won't be lost after a restart, as they remain stored on the host system.
