as I understand, we have to use hfsplus formatted partition
so approximated manual might be like this:
sudo apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs
sudo mkdir /mnt/timemachine # provide your path to mount point
# remove/create a partition
# fdisk howto: https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
sudo mkfs.hfsplus /dev/sda1 # specify your partition
blkid # find partuuid
# add to /etc/fstab:
/dev/disk/by-partuuid/be54d979-02 /mnt/timemachine hfsplus rw,force,exec,auto,users 0 2
sudo mount -a # check fstab before reboot

also, can you share your way to setup the /timemachine?

this dramatically decreases setup complexity for novices

Hello,
You don't have to format your partition with HFS+, you just need an standard EXT3/4 partition with support for extra flags, which is the default configuration.
I´m using in my own home an EXT4 partition without issues. Which errors are you facing using an standard format with this container?
