Infrastructure Management

This directory contains backups, scripts, and documentation for managing the homelab infrastructure.

Quick Start

1. Backup Compose Files

Run this to back up all compose configurations from the cluster:

./scripts/backup-compose-files.sh

This will:

• Copy all Dokploy compose files from /etc/dokploy/compose/
• Copy Traefik configuration
• Copy stack files
• Generate a backup manifest

2. Backup Critical Data

Run this to back up databases and application data:

./scripts/backup-critical-data.sh

This will:

• Backup PostgreSQL databases (Dokploy, Immich, BewCloud)
• Backup MariaDB databases (Pancake)
• Backup application volumes (Memos, Gitea)
• Clean up old backups (30+ days)
• Generate a backup report

Automated Backups

Set up cron jobs on your local machine:

# Edit crontab
crontab -e

# Add these lines:
# Backup compose files daily at 2 AM
0 2 * * * cd /Users/timothy.bendt/developer/cloud-compose/infrastructure/scripts && ./backup-compose-files.sh >> /var/log/homelab-backup.log 2>&1

# Backup critical data daily at 3 AM
0 3 * * * cd /Users/timothy.bendt/developer/cloud-compose/infrastructure/scripts && ./backup-critical-data.sh >> /var/log/homelab-backup.log 2>&1

Or run manually whenever you make changes:

# After modifying any service
cd /Users/timothy.bendt/developer/cloud-compose
./infrastructure/scripts/backup-compose-files.sh
git add infrastructure/
git commit -m "Backup infrastructure configs"
git push

Restore Procedures

Restore a Compose File

1. Copy the compose file from infrastructure/compose/<project>/docker-compose.yml
2. Upload via Dokploy UI
3. Deploy

Restore a Database

# Example: Restore Dokploy database
scp infrastructure/backups/dokploy-postgres-dokploy-2026-02-09.sql ubuntu@192.168.2.130:/tmp/
ssh ubuntu@192.168.2.130 "docker exec -i dokploy-postgres.1.<container-id> psql -U postgres dokploy < /tmp/dokploy-postgres-dokploy-2026-02-09.sql"

Restore Volume Data

# Example: Restore Memos data
scp infrastructure/backups/bewcloud-memos-ssogxn-memos-data-2026-02-09.tar.gz ubuntu@192.168.2.130:/tmp/
ssh ubuntu@192.168.2.130 "docker run --rm -v bewcloud-memos-ssogxn_memos_data:/data -v /tmp:/backup alpine sh -c 'cd /data && tar xzf /backup/bewcloud-memos-ssogxn-memos-data-2026-02-09.tar.gz'"

SSH Access

Controller (tpi-n1)

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 ubuntu@192.168.2.130

Worker (tpi-n2)

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 ubuntu@192.168.2.19

NAS (node-nas)

ssh tim@192.168.2.18

Useful Commands

Check Service Status

ssh ubuntu@192.168.2.130 "docker service ls"

View Service Logs

ssh ubuntu@192.168.2.130 "docker service logs <service-name> --tail 100 -f"

Scale a Service

ssh ubuntu@192.168.2.130 "docker service scale <service-name>=<replicas>"

Check Node Status

ssh ubuntu@192.168.2.130 "docker node ls"

Web Interfaces

Service	URL	Purpose
Dokploy	http://192.168.2.130:3000	Container management
Swarmpit	http://192.168.2.130:888	Swarm monitoring
Traefik	http://192.168.2.130:8080	Reverse proxy dashboard

Backup Storage

Local

Backups are stored in infrastructure/backups/ with date stamps.

Offsite (Recommended)

Consider copying backups to:

• MinIO bucket (backups/)
• External hard drive
• Cloud storage (AWS S3, etc.)
• Another server

Example:

# Copy to MinIO
mc cp infrastructure/backups/* minio/backups/

Maintenance Checklist

Daily

• Check backup logs for errors
• Verify critical services are running

Weekly

• Review Swarmpit dashboard
• Check disk usage on all nodes
• Review backup integrity

Monthly

• Test restore procedures
• Update documentation
• Review and update services
• Clean up unused images/volumes

Quarterly

• Full disaster recovery drill
• Security audit
• Update base images
• Review access controls
