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?

    I don’t think it’s possible. iTunes requires a full OS install, so you’ll have to just run it on a VM. And Apple has things locked down so much that the only way to do full iPhone/iPad backups is through iTunes.

    I think you can do this by mounting a macos VM: link

    New macOS versions do not require iTunes and you can back up directly through the finder window. Your backup will be located there: /Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
