## Backup Strategy

### Critical Data Locations

| Priority | Data | Location | Backup Method |
|----------|------|----------|---------------|
| HIGH | Photos | `/srv/immich/` | External drive + cloud |
| HIGH | Documents | `/srv/paperless/` | External drive |
| HIGH | Git repos | `/srv/gitea/` | Git push to remote |
| MEDIUM | Seafile | `/srv/seafile/` | External drive |
| LOW | Configs | `/srv/*/config/` | Copy to backup |

### Manual Backup Commands

```bash
# Backup Immich
tar -czvf immich-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /srv/immich/

# Backup Paperless
tar -czvf paperless-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /srv/paperless/

# Backup Gitea
tar -czvf gitea-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /srv/gitea/

# Backup Seafile (stop first for consistency)
docker compose -f /srv/seafile/docker-compose.yml stop seafile
tar -czvf seafile-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /srv/seafile/
docker compose -f /srv/seafile/docker-compose.yml start seafile
```

---

## Maintenance Commands

### System Updates

```bash
# Update system packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Update Docker images
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```

### Check Disk Space

## Disaster Recovery

### If Server Fails - Rebuild Steps

1. **Install fresh Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)**

2. **Install Docker:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
```

3. **Restore /srv from backup:**
```bash
sudo mkdir /srv
sudo tar -xzvf backup.tar.gz -C /
```

4. **Start each service:**
```bash
cd /srv/gitea && docker compose up -d
cd /srv/immich && docker compose up -d
cd /srv/paperless && docker compose up -d
cd /srv/seafile && docker compose up -d
# etc.
```

5. **Install Tailscale:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
sudo tailscale up
```

### Key Files to Backup

- All of `/srv/`
- `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` (if using Caddy)
- Docker compose files (already in /srv/)
- This documentation!

## Troubleshooting

### Service Not Accessible

```bash
# Check if container is running
docker ps | grep <service>

# Check container logs
docker logs <container_name>

# Restart the service
docker restart <container_name>
```

### Port Already in Use

```bash
# Find what's using a port
sudo lsof -i :<port>
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep <port>
```

### Container Won't Start

```bash
# Check logs for errors
docker logs <container_name>

# Check disk space
df -h

# Check Docker status
sudo systemctl status docker
```

### Database Issues

```bash
# Enter postgres container
docker exec -it <postgres_container> psql -U <user> -d <database>

# Check database health
docker exec <postgres_container> pg_isready
```

### Reset Service Password

**Filebrowser:**
```bash
docker stop filebrowser
docker run --rm -v /srv/filebrowser/database:/database filebrowser/filebrowser \
  users update admin --password newpassword -d /database/filebrowser.db
docker start filebrowser
```

**Gitea:**
```bash
docker exec -it gitea gitea admin user change-password --username Antoine --password newpassword
```
