Self-hosting procedure

Test data exports before changing applications

List records, attachments, metadata, permissions and links that a future application must receive.

The decision

List records, attachments, metadata, permissions and links that a future application must receive.

A bounded example

Inspect an export and, where possible, import it on a separate test target. Export and full restore answer different questions.

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.
