Early when I was learning self hosting, I lost my work and progress a lot. Through all that I learned how to make a really solid backup/restore system that works consistently.

Each device I own has it’s own local backup. I copy those backups to a partition on my computer dedicated to backups, and that partition gets copied again to an external SSD which can be disconnected. Restoring from external SSD to my Computer’s backup partition to each device all works to my liking. I feel quite confident with my setup. It took a lot of failure to gain that confidence.

I also spent time hardening my system. I went through this Linux hardening guide and applied what I thought would be appropriate for my web facing server. Since the guide seems more for a personal computer (I think), the majority of it didn’t apply to my use case. I also use Alpine Linux so there was even less I could do for my system but it was still helpful in understanding how much effort it is to secure a computer.
