How to do extracts with read-write source volumes?

[witten]

As I recently discovered when extracting from backup on a reinstalled system: Read-only source volumes (as currently documented) prevent docker-borgmatic from extracting any backup files to their original locations!

Which raises the question, what's the extract story with docker-borgmatic? Is the user intended to restart the container with read-write source volume mounts whenever they need to do an extract? Or maybe source volumes should be documented as read-write by default, at the cost of some decreased security? I'm of course open to suggestions.. There doesn't seem like a clear-cut answer here.

This might just be a documentation issue. There is the existing section about restoring backups, but it seems FUSE oriented. Maybe that's the intended way to restore backups rather than with extract?

I'm also having issues extracting using docker..

You might try upping your verbosity --verbosity 2 and/or disabling retries in configuration to see what might be going on there.
