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?

There's the windows version. Run it through WINE or something

Would wine work for detecting the iPhone and allowing the data sync? I feel like it’s a big ask

I would test it but the only Apple stuff I have is a MacBook.

Ill test it and update this post later.

I see. I found a wine docker container but it seems to be abandoned.

Is there more efficient way other than Debain -> wine (on a vm) -> iTunes?

Unless there is something that can do it that runs on Linux. As far as I know, there's only iTunes for MacOS and Windows.

I was thinking of something like this:

What if we can run a lightweight wine version tailor made to be compatible with iTunes on a container?
