Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.

So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?

    I just started my mbin instance a week or two ago. When I did, I wrote a guided install script (it’s a long story, but I ended up having to blow away the server like 7 times and re-install).

    This might be overkill for your purposes, but it’s the kind of thing I have in mind.

    Note1: Sorry, it’s kinda sloppy. I need to clean it up before I submit a PR to the mbin devs for possible inclusion in their documentation. Note2: It assumes that you’re running a single-user instance, and on a single, small server, with no external requirements.
