Persistence and backups

Volume	Mount	Content	Size	Lost if deleted
jeff-models	/models	Weights, download marker, ONNX exports	1–4 GB	Re-downloaded automatically
jeff-data	/data	Hugging Face and generic caches	small	Nothing important

Jeff is stateless regarding requests: no database, no user data. Losing the volumes only costs a re-download.

What survives what

Event	Model kept?
docker compose restart / host reboot	yes
docker compose down + up	yes
Image upgrade / Dokploy redeploy	yes
docker compose down -v	no
Dokploy Application without volume mounts	no

Backup

docker run --rm -v jeff-models:/v:ro -v "$PWD":/b alpine \
  tar czf /b/jeff-models-$(date +%F).tgz -C /v .

On Dokploy use Volume Backups (S3-compatible destination).

Restore / migrate to another host

docker volume create jeff-models
docker run --rm -v jeff-models:/v -v "$PWD":/b alpine \
  sh -c 'tar xzf /b/jeff-models-*.tgz -C /v && chown -R 10001:10001 /v'

Inspect

docker run --rm -v jeff-models:/m alpine sh -c 'du -sh /m/*; cat /m/*/.jeff-download-complete'

Clean up old models

docker run --rm -v jeff-models:/m alpine rm -rf /m/gliformer-base-v1
