## Backup Strategy
### Automated Backup System (Restic + Cron)
The server uses a dual backup approach:
1. **Daily incremental backups** at midnight using restic
2. **Weekly full system images** on Sundays at 3 AM
### How Restic Backups Work (Efficiency)
Restic uses **deduplication and incremental backups**, making it very efficient:
| Aspect | Behavior |
|--------|----------|
| **First backup** | Full backup (~535GB for Immich, takes 1-2 hours) |
| **Daily backups** | Only new/changed data (typically minutes, not hours) |
| **Storage** | Deduplicated - identical files stored once |
| **CPU/Energy** | Low - only processes changes |
**Example:** If you add 20 new photos (100MB) today:
- Backup uploads ~100MB (not 535GB)
- Takes ~2-5 minutes (not hours)
- HDD spins briefly, then sleeps
This makes nightly backups energy-efficient and fast after the initial backup.
### Backup Storage
| Location | Purpose | Size |
|----------|---------|------|
| `/mnt/hdd/backups/restic-repo` | Incremental backups (versioned, deduplicated) | ~500GB+ |
| `/mnt/hdd/backups/system-images` | Weekly full system tarballs | ~50GB x 4 |
| `/mnt/hdd/immich` | Primary Immich photo storage | ~535GB |
### Backup Credentials
**Restic Repository Password:** `dalidou-backup-2025`
⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Store this password securely (e.g., Bitwarden). Without it, backups are irrecoverable!
### What Gets Backed Up Daily
| Data | Location | Priority |
|------|----------|----------|
| Immich photos & DB | `/mnt/hdd/immich` | HIGH |
| Obsidian vault | `/srv/storage/obsidian` | HIGH |
| Documents | `/srv/storage/docs` | HIGH |
| Shared files | `/srv/storage/shared` | MEDIUM |
| Gitea repos & DB | `/srv/gitea` | HIGH |
| Paperless docs & DB | `/srv/paperless` | HIGH |
| Syncthing config | `/srv/syncthing` | LOW |
| Homepage config | `/srv/homepage` | LOW |
| Pi-hole config | `/srv/pihole` | LOW |
| Docker compose | `/home/papa` | MEDIUM |
### Backup Scripts
| Script | Schedule | Purpose |
|--------|----------|---------|
| `/usr/local/bin/backup-daily.sh` | Daily at midnight | Incremental restic backup |
| `/usr/local/bin/backup-weekly-image.sh` | Sundays 3 AM | Full system tarball |
### Retention Policy
- **Daily backups:** Keep 7 days
- **Weekly backups:** Keep 4 weeks
- **Monthly backups:** Keep 12 months
- **System images:** Keep 4 most recent
### Manual Backup Commands
```bash
# Check backup status
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=/mnt/hdd/backups/restic-repo
export RESTIC_PASSWORD='dalidou-backup-2025'
restic snapshots
# Run manual backup

# Restore a file from backup
restic restore latest --target /tmp/restore --include /srv/storage/obsidian
# List files in a snapshot
restic ls latest
# Check backup integrity
restic check
# View backup logs
tail -100 /var/log/backup-daily.log
tail -100 /var/log/backup-weekly.log
```
### Legacy 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

```
---
## Disaster Recovery
### What You Need to Recover
1. **The 14TB WD Elements HDD** (contains all backups and Immich photos)
2. **Any new Linux machine** (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended)
3. **The restic password:** `dalidou-backup-2025`
### Complete Recovery Steps
#### Step 1: Install Fresh Ubuntu
Install Ubuntu Server or Desktop on the new machine.
#### Step 2: Install Required Software
```bash
# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
# Install restic
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y restic
# Install Tailscale (for remote access)
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
```
#### Step 3: Connect and Mount the 14TB HDD
```bash
# Find the drive
lsblk
# Create mount point and mount (replace sdX with actual device)
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hdd
sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/hdd
# Add to fstab for auto-mount (get UUID first)
sudo blkid /dev/sdX1
# Add line to /etc/fstab:
# UUID=<your-uuid> /mnt/hdd ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2
```
#### Step 4: Restore from Restic Backup
```bash
# Set up restic environment
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=/mnt/hdd/backups/restic-repo
export RESTIC_PASSWORD='dalidou-backup-2025'
# List available backups
restic snapshots
# Restore everything to root filesystem
sudo -E restic restore latest --target /
# This restores:
# - /mnt/hdd/immich (Immich photos & database)
# - /srv/storage/obsidian (Obsidian vault)
# - /srv/storage/docs (Documents)
# - /srv/gitea (Git repositories)
# - /srv/paperless (Paperless documents)
# - /srv/homepage, /srv/pihole, /srv/syncthing (configs)
# - /home/papa (docker-compose.yml)
```
#### Step 5: Create Required Directories
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /srv/storage
# Mount SSD if you have one, or create directories
```
#### Step 6: Start All Services
```bash
cd /home/papa
docker compose up -d
# Verify all containers are running
docker ps
```
#### Step 7: Configure Tailscale
```bash
sudo tailscale up
# Follow the link to authenticate
```
#### Step 8: Verify Services
- Immich: http://localhost:2283
- Gitea: http://localhost:3000
- Paperless: http://localhost:8082
- Homepage: http://localhost:3001
### Recovery Time Estimate
| Step | Time |
|------|------|
| Install Ubuntu | 15-30 min |
| Install Docker/restic | 5 min |
| Mount HDD | 2 min |
| Restore from backup | 30-60 min (depends on data size) |
| Start services | 5 min |
| **Total** | **~1-2 hours** |
### Key Files in Backup
| Location | Contents |
|----------|----------|
| `/mnt/hdd/immich` | All photos, videos, thumbnails, postgres DB |
| `/srv/storage/obsidian` | Obsidian vault |
| `/srv/gitea` | Git repositories and database |
| `/srv/paperless` | Scanned documents and database |
| `/home/papa/docker-compose.yml` | All service definitions |
### Alternative: Weekly System Image Recovery
If you prefer a full system restore (slower but includes OS configs):
```bash
# Mount the HDD
sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/hdd
# List available images
ls -la /mnt/hdd/backups/system-images/
# Extract to new system
sudo tar -xzvf /mnt/hdd/backups/system-images/system-image-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz -C /
```

## 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
```
### DNS Resolution Issues
If external domains fail to resolve (e.g., `api.anthropic.com`, `google.com`):
```bash
# Check current DNS config
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Test DNS resolution
ping -4 google.com
# If using Tailscale MagicDNS and it's failing:
# Option 1: Disable Tailscale DNS management
tailscale set --accept-dns=false
# Option 2: Add fallback DNS to systemd-resolved
cat > /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/fix-dns.conf << 'EOF'
[Resolve]
DNS=8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1
FallbackDNS=8.8.4.4 1.0.0.1
EOF
systemctl restart systemd-resolved
# Switch to systemd-resolved
rm /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
```
**Current DNS Configuration (as of Dec 2025):**
- Tailscale DNS disabled (`--accept-dns=false`)
- Using systemd-resolved with Google (8.8.8.8) and Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) DNS
