how to save my containers guide

hello :)

my docker containers number is increasing and I was thinking which should be the best way to save all the configurations, descriptions and the processes needed to put all the containers up and running.

since now I was using a simple text file, since I had not so much to remember, but the configuration is becoming more and more complex.

I was thinking maybe at a kanban board.

what would you recommend?

(I'm not a programmer, that's also why I'm asking) :)

I personally have a github repo with a folder for each deployment, and the files needed for deployment with a docker-compose.yml, and comments in the files for what they do.
- I seccond that. This also allows you to create markdown documentation as readme files, so you still have text files, just always at a glance.
My philosophy is this: all of the containers are deployed via docker-compose files, which are backed up. Any persistent data is presented over NFS to the containers using volumes. This way, in the event that the docker server blows up I just install docker, move the docker-compose files over, docker-compose up, and pretty much done.
