I’ve an iPhone and Id like to backup my phone to my server running Debain 11 with docker installed.

So, is there a way to install and run iTunes either on the os it self or in a container?

iTunes requires usb drivers to sync with an iPhone. Wine does not support windows usb drivers so even if you get iTunes to work in wine, connecting to the iPhone with it won’t work. You might be able to use libimobiledevice to do a backup.

I use libimobildevice on my raspberry and it works in terms of backups. I haven‘t tried to restore it though. Hope this works too… :D

Could you please elaborate more about your setup?

Like what software you used with raspberry pi to backup your data.

I have no problem using windows to restore though.

Iphone can do wireless backup if both the iphone and pc are connected to the same network.
