Required Maintenance for the DP-SALA/D Stack

Debian 12:

• At least monthly, run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update" to update the base applications for Debian, this applies security and feature upgrades for your OS, which is important.

• At least bi-weekly, save all the configuration files and important data to a secure, private, personal location. You could even use the Google Drive space of the Gmail address that you setup, and save the previous backups. You could probably keep the last 5 backups just to be safe, but minimum of 3.

Portainer:

• Update whenever there is an update. If you login and it tells you there is an update available, update right then and there. Portainer is just a docker container that lets you manage other docker containers, but make sure to keep this as up to date as possible.
• You generally don't have to keep a backup of the Portainer data volume, unless you've made some crazy modification to it's configuration that was different from the standard install.

SWAG:

• At least monthly, restart the container. This allows it to pull new configurations from the GitHub page, as well as renew your SSL certificates for your webserver.

Authelia:

• At least monthly, restart the container. This allows it to pull updates for the container.

WARNING

Make sure that your configuration for this is backed up, since multiple sensitive things are within this file, and recovering them will be impossible.

LLDAP:

• This is probably the lowest maintenance thing out of the stack. Just make sure that it is backed up completely.

Authy/Duo:

• Set it and forget it. This is typically included in Authelia , so another reason to make sure that config file is completely backed up properly.
