So can vagrant (virtualbox) cause some problems?

```

Seems the file is readable for all and lands in the right place. From inside the `discourse` docker container where should I see the backup? Is my unattended restore script right or should I copy inside the docker container? If yes, where? (Maybe any guides for how to automate discourse from outside [of docker?]

```plaintext
+ vagrant ssh -c 'sudo docker exec -w /var/www/discourse -i discourse discourse restore'
You must provide a filename to restore. Did you mean one of the following?

Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.
+ vagrant ssh -c 'sudo docker exec -w /var/www/discourse -i discourse discourse restore icontest-2020-05-12-033823-v20200506044956.tar.gz'
Starting restore: icontest-2020-05-12-033823-v20200506044956.tar.gz
