The problem is that all the data remains on a single physical location: My local MicroServer. What happens when the house burns or my server, including the internal disks and the attached USB drives, gets stolen? My first thought was to back up everything to the "cloud". However, the significant issue here is the limited amount of available upload bandwidth (only 1MBit/s). The solution is adding another USB drive (2TB) with an encryption container (GELI) and a ZFS pool. The GELI encryption requires a secret key and a secret passphrase. I am updating the data to that drive once every three months (my calendar is reminding me about it), and afterwards, I keep that drive at a secret location outside of my apartment. All the information needed to decrypt (mounting the GELI container) is stored at another (secure) place. Key and passphrase are kept at different sites, though. Even if someone knew of it, he would not be able to decrypt it as some additional insider knowledge would be required as well. diff --git a/gemfeed/2021-06-05-gemtexter-one-bash-script-to-rule-it-all.md b/gemfeed/2021-06-05-gemtexter-one-bash-script-to-rule-it-all.md index 39fcbba8..03d8aa2c 100644 --- a/gemfeed/2021-06-05-gemtexter-one-bash-script-to-rule-it-all.md +++ b/gemfeed/2021-06-05-gemtexter-one-bash-script-to-rule-it-all.md @@ -122,7 +122,7 @@ I followed all these best practices, and in my opinion, the result is a pretty m ShellCheck, a shell script analysis tool written in Haskell, is run on Gemtexter ensuring that all code is acceptable.

The pre-condition check could be pretty complex (e.g. N log messages containing a specific warning string are found in the applications logs, but only on the cluster leader server). You can flip the switch directly in the code manually (e.g. run F only, when the pre-condition isn't met) and then perform a dry run of the script and study the output.
