Self-hosting procedure

Check that an off-server backup can survive server loss

Identify the destination, recovery authority and credential path needed after loss of the VPS.

The decision

Identify the destination, recovery authority and credential path needed after loss of the VPS.

A bounded example

An isolated restore and repository check complement one another; neither is a promise of recovery time.

Documentation

Use the relevant version of restic — Restore before changing a live service.

Checks before change

Keep a recovery route, work on an isolated copy when data is affected, and record observations rather than assumptions. Stop if an acceptance check fails.

Limits

Hoszen does not preinstall or operate applications, hold secrets, verify backups, promise capacity or confirm a payment or VPS delivery.
