Hi and thanks for running this instance.

As devops/infra guy, few technical things sprang into mind:

  • are there any (hw) redundancies at server side?
  • what happens if current admin gets hit by a bus?
  • if instance dies permanently, what happens to its users and posts?
  • is the vps virtual or real?
  • if the vps is compromised or something explodes, are there any off-site backups?

Thanks.

is the vps virtual or real?

It is virtual. This instance isn't so huge that there would be need for a dedicated server.

if the vps is compromised or something explodes, are there any off-site backups?

Backups are taken twice a day at 06:00 and 18:00, and they are off-site.

Out of curiosity, what do you use for the backups?

Currently a Python backup script I made myself based on what is said about backups in the documentation.
