Considerations

As a peek behind the curtain, this blog and some other web-projects are hosted on an SBC. As I never expect this WordPress or any of my projects to receive any notable traffic, it remains my assessment that this is fine.

There is however the question of backups, and hardware health. I do not monitor the machine continuously, and at some point the numbers of read/writes may start to affect the reliability of the hardware containing the server.

As is usually the case, later iterations of the same implementation will be more elegant and efficient. So if I were to set up the same server again, I am sure it would be done to a higher degree of proficiency. But there would doubtless be settings and implementations I either forget how I set up, or some files I did not back up sufficiently.

That leads me to what steps I’d like to learn more about:
– regular backups of databases, and off-device storage.
– how to make better notes and personal documentation for setting up again.
