Why doesn't my crontab -e execute the .sh script?
If you add your cronjob via sudo crontab -e, it will run as root.

No need for
sudo, use:*/5 * * * * /bin/sh /home/rki/docker-compose-stuff/dokuwiki/backups/dokuwiki_backup.sh -
The default working directory should be
roots$HOME, so usually/root. You can find$name.tar.gzthere. But better to use absolute paths, e.g.:/bin/tar -zcvf "/home/rki/Backups/$name.tar.gz" /var/lib/docker/volumes/dokuwiki_data
