Self-hosting procedure

Rehearse a self-hosted application upgrade

Choose the exact version, map storage and database format, and prepare an independent pre-change copy.

The decision

Choose the exact version, map storage and database format, and prepare an independent pre-change copy.

A bounded example

Test an isolated copy with representative data. Define a stop condition and return path before changing production.

Documentation

Use the relevant version of PostgreSQL — pg_dump 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.
