$backupPath="$HOME/insights/backup"
docker run -u root --rm --platform linux --volumes-from looker-container -v ${backupPath}:/backup ${image} bash -c "tar xvf /backup/looker_backup.tar -C /"$image=$(docker container inspect looker-container -f '{{ .Image }}')
$backupPath="$HOME/insights/backup"
docker run -u root --rm --platform linux --volumes-from looker-container -v ${backupPath}:/backup ${image} bash -c "tar xvf /backup/looker_backup.tar -C /"

(Optional) If the hostname has changed, edit the files.
Open the backup file and search for host_url to find the string that starts with https://.
