diary
Notes on running small servers, written mostly so I can find them again.
- Backups I actually test
A small restic setup, and the monthly restore drill that makes it worth having.
- Back to static files
Why this site is a folder of HTML again, and what I gave up to get there.
- Notes on caching static assets with nginx
Short cache lifetimes for HTML, long ones for assets, and why I stopped being clever about it.
- Monitoring that stays quiet
One shell script, one cron entry, and alerts only when something needs a human.
- Finally turning on IPv6 at home
What broke, what did not, and the one firewall rule I got wrong.
