Hi, I have an app and mounted a volume to my docker container. My app receives emails and save email attachments, if any, to the mounted volume.
Is there a way I can download the whole mounted volume as a snapshot, or download the content inside to my local machine?
Thanks.

You could try setting up a Wireguard tunnel, then using scp to fetch files from the instance using the IP address listed in fly ips private. People have had mixed success with this, but worth a try!
A simpler solution would be to expose these files in a web service behind authentication. So your web app could create a zip file, for example, and allow you to download from the web.
this method seems more practical, at least to me
I did this npm script for getting a backup of the sqlite.db file
“backup-db”: “flyctl ssh sftp get -a my-app-name /data/sqlite.db ~/Downloads/my-app-name_$(date +‘%d_%m_%Y’).db”
