This guide walks through building a robust backup and restore strategy for Dokploy when self‑hosting on a VPS. You’ll learn why offsite backups are critical, how to create and connect a Cloudflare R2 bucket as an S3‑compatible target, and how to configure automated backups for the Dokploy system, databases, and Docker volumes, plus how to safely restore them and migrate to a new server.

This step-by-step guide walks you through getting started with Dokploy, from basic server requirements and Docker log optimization to one-click installation and security hardening. Learn how to wire up Git-based CI/CD, leverage Traefik for automatic reverse proxying, deploy from templates, monitor resources, and enable automated backups—perfect for solo developers and small teams shipping fast.

Includes startup commands and comparison benchmarks, ideal for daily monitoring on personal servers and multi-GPU workstations.

This guide walks you through deploying Hentai@Home (H@H) from scratch: account registration, client requirements, and site configuration, plus a Docker-based setup with persistent volumes. It covers port and bandwidth tuning, online status verification, and Prometheus + Grafana monitoring, along with practical cautions for bandwidth, uptime, storage, and security.

A seemingly unbeatable Tarekcloud EPYC 7763 “super-sized” VPS turned into a stability nightmare: constant reboots, days of downtime, and an eventual forced migration to a weaker EPYC 7B13 platform. This post walks through the issues, Tarekcloud’s explanation about third‑party procurement and mixed memory, underwhelming compensation, CPU benchmarks, and practical cautions before you buy.

This post shows how to deploy Scrutiny with Docker to monitor disk health in a Proxmox VE (PVE) environment. It walks through setting up Scrutiny with InfluxDB, exposing web and API ports, and configuring a scheduled collector on PVE nodes using systemd timers to periodically send SMART metrics to the Scrutiny server.

This guide walks you through deploying Magnetboard with Docker: a Sehuatang-based crawler-style AV subscription downloader. It covers visualized index management, smart search, batch pushing, qBittorrent/115/Telegram integration, plus security and port exposure recommendations for safer operation in your environment.

This guide walks through the end‑to‑end process of using Wasabi with a CDN: choosing regions and endpoints, understanding free egress and API fair‑use rules, opening a ticket to enable public read and passing the review, plus common pitfalls and cost‑optimization tips. Includes concrete bucket policies and CDN configuration examples for Sharon CDN and Cloudflare.
