   There was talk some months ago of federating the group hosting. Multiple !GNUsocial instances all share the message storage and distribution of !Fedgroups, and if one host fails it's detected by the other hosts who take over for it.

     @cyberkiller I worry about the !Fedgroups I host on sn.jonkman.ca since I know how solid, stable and reliable the infrastructure is. I think every !SysAdmin has those worries.

     @bobjonkman mysql seems to be prone to corruption → daily db dumps & file system backups would reduce the risk of losing the instance.

     To calm the fears: I'm backing up manually now, but I'm building a NAS which will pull backups automatically. Then I'll have multiple copies of those corrupt DBs. :/

     @bobjonkman what size is one db backup, approximately?

     I'm backing up for disaster recovery, so the individual DBs aren't saved separately. The entire MySQL !database backup file is 444 MBytes bzipped, which contains two !SN DBs, 7 WordPress DBs, a MediaWiki DB, 1 !ownCloud DB, and an underused Drupal DB.

     I'm a little surprised that all that stuff is only 444 Mbytes. Or maybe I have little concept of how big a MegaByte actually is...

     @bobjonkman interesting — do you do sth like block-wise image backups or filesystem snapshots?

     I do 'mysqldump --all-databases | bzip2 > filename' then rsync all files on the web server to the backup server. Once the NAS is online I'll probably do something fancy with snapshots.

     Now that you've backed up, you can try migrating to !GNUsocial too! ;)

     @bobjonkman Absolutely! GS.de has no reliable backup solution, too. Makes me hurt my stomach every time I think about it.

     Meh, let it burn if it burns! People should be running their own instances anyway :]
