Backups
What to back up yourself before you rely on an installation.
This release has no managed, automatic backups. Two things are worth backing up yourself before you rely on this installation:
/opt/noodara/.env. ItsNOODARA_MASTER_KEYvalue is unrecoverable if lost — every stored SSH credential becomes permanently undecryptable without it. Back this file up somewhere safe, outside the VPS itself.- The two named Docker volumes (
noodara_postgres_dataandnoodara_redis_data), especially before an upgrade. Apg_dumpof thepostgresvolume, taken and stored off the host, is the simplest option today.
install.log never contains a secret — it is safe to share for diagnosis. .env.bak-* files do
contain secrets, exactly like .env itself, and should be handled and stored the same way.
