Monitoring

Docker Health Checks

All services have health checks configured:

# Check all container health
docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"

# Check specific container
docker inspect <container> | grep -A 5 Health

Current Health Status:

• ✅ gitea (healthy)
• ✅ gitea-db (healthy)
• ✅ immich_server (healthy)
• ✅ immich_postgres (healthy)
• ✅ immich_redis (healthy)
• ✅ immich_machine_learning (healthy)
• ✅ netbird-zdb-1 (healthy)

Backup Monitoring

Check latest backup:

ls -lah /mnt/backup/latest/
cat /mnt/backup/latest/backup-info.txt

Check backup log:

tail -f /var/log/vps-backup.log

System Monitoring

Basic health:

# Disk usage
df -h

# Memory usage
free -h

# Container resource usage
docker stats

# Firewall status
sudo ufw status numbered

# Fail2ban status
sudo fail2ban-client status sshd

Maintenance Tasks

Daily

• Automated backups run at 2:00 AM
• Check backup completion

Weekly

• Check backup logs
• Verify backup completion

• Check disk space

Monthly

• Review and update container images

cd /home/phil/docker/gitea && docker compose pull

Emergency Procedures

Restore from Backup

1. Identify backup to restore:

ls -lah /mnt/backup/

gunzip < /mnt/backup/latest/immich-db.sql.gz | docker exec -i immich_postgres psql -U postgres immich

3. Restore Gitea database:

gunzip < /mnt/backup/latest/gitea-db.sql.gz | docker exec -i gitea-db psql -U gitea gitea

4. Restore Gitea data volume:

docker run --rm -v gitea_gitea_data:/data -v /mnt/backup/latest:/backup alpine tar xzf /backup/gitea-data.tar.gz -C /data

5. Restore Netbird management data:

docker run --rm -v netbird_netbird_management:/data -v /mnt/backup/latest:/backup alpine tar xzf /backup/netbird-management.tar.gz -C /data

Pending Tasks

1. SSO Integration Plan 📋 (Optional)

Status: Plan created, ready for implementation

Documentation:

• No need to remember multiple passwords

Prerequisites:

• ✅ Zitadel OIDC endpoint accessible
• ✅ Gitea OAuth2 already enabled
• ✅ DNS and SSL configured for all services
• Netbird admin access

Estimated Time: ~2.5 hours

See: docs/sso-integration-plan.md for complete implementation guide

2. Remote Backup Storage ⚠️ (Recommended)

Action Required: Mount remote storage to /mnt/backup

Options:

• S3 bucket via s3fs
• NFS mount
• SSHFS
• WebDAV

Once mounted, update backup script to include Immich photo backup.

2. Remote Backup Storage ⚠️ (Recommended)

Status: Implementation plan created

Documentation:

• docs/sso-integration-plan.md - Complete implementation guide (NEW)
• docs/sso-integration-diagram.txt - Architecture diagrams (NEW)
• docs/oidc-integration-guide.md - Original setup guide

Scope:

• Gitea + Immich + Netbird Zitadel SSO

Ready to implement when needed

Success Metrics

• ✅ All containers running and healthy
• ✅ Firewall active and protecting system
• ✅ Fail2ban blocking SSH brute force (5 IPs banned)
• ✅ Automated backups configured (databases + photos)
• ✅ Immich photo backup active (39.34GB, daily 04:00)
• ✅ Gitea deployed with admin user created
• ✅ SSL certificates for all domains
• ✅ Security headers configured
• ⏳ Remote backup storage (recommended)
• ⏳ OIDC SSO (optional, plan created)

Conclusion

The VPS is now fully operational with:

1. Secure baseline: UFW firewall, fail2ban, security headers
2. Git hosting: Gitea with PostgreSQL, admin user created
3. Photo management: Immich with 39GB of photos, fully backed up
4. VPN & SSO: Netbird with Zitadel identity provider
5. Automated backups: Daily backups of all databases AND photos
6. Reverse proxy: Caddy handling SSL and routing for all services

All core services are production-ready with complete backup coverage.

Optional enhancements:

• Mount remote backup storage to /mnt/backup for off-site backups
• Configure OIDC SSO for Gitea and Immich (plan created)
• Set up container monitoring
