Frank e3eb5334cb feat: initialize serverAppConfigs with podman stacks for Dankserver and Dankclaw
- Dankserver stack: RomM, Copyparty, Calibre-Web, node-exporter
- Dankclaw stack: Gluetun VPN (SearXNG tunnel), SearXNG+Valkey, ComfyUI
  (CPU backend), OpenWebUI, Hermes, Gitea+Postgres (migrated), Caddy
  reverse proxy, Grafana+Prometheus+Loki+Alloy observability
- Caddyfiles with .local hostname convention and basicauth homepage
- bind-mount storage policy, no named volumes
- deploy.sh mirroring vllmScripts git workflow (push -> pull -> restart -> health)
- docs/ Obsidian vault: per-service docs from frank-default-small research
  subagents (promtail EOL -> Alloy; gitea SECRET_KEY preservation; ComfyUI --cpu)
- bats test suite at 6 seams — 22 tests green

Backblaze Integration

Off-site backup plan for the bind-mounted data on both hosts. Deferred: research only, not implemented yet.

Goal

Back up critical data to Backblaze B2:

  • Calibre library (Dankserver)
  • ComfyUI models (Dankclaw)
  • Gitea data, repos, DB (Dankclaw)
  • Homepage/stack configs (this repo — already versioned in git)

Approach (research direction)

Option Fit
restic + B2 Best fit: dedupe, encryption, snapshots, low cost. Single static binary, works with podman host.
borg + borgbase Alternative; borgbase is more expensive per TB than B2.
rclone + B2 Good for file sync, no snapshot/dedupe semantics.
podman volume driver for B2 Niche, immature. Not recommended.

Shape of the Implementation (future)

  • scripts/backup.sh on each host, run by systemd timer or cron.
  • restic -r b2:bucket:path backup /opt/...
  • RESTIC_PASSWORD in the host .env, never in the repo.
  • Restore procedure documented once the backup job exists.

Next Steps

  1. Create a B2 bucket + application key.
  2. Draft scripts/backup.sh and a systemd timer unit.
  3. Run a test restore.
