Maintenance

Daily / Per Deploy

• Check service health and key logs.
• Confirm migrations are current.
• Verify app/web endpoints and critical flows.

docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail=100 app
bun db:migrate

Weekly

• Review container resource usage.
• Validate backup jobs/files.
• Inspect failed job patterns in worker logs.

docker stats
docker system df
docker compose logs --tail=200 worker

Monthly

• Update infrastructure images and restart services in a controlled window.
• Rotate secrets where required.
• Review security hardening checklist items.

Updating Application Services

git pull origin main
docker compose pull app web
docker compose up -d app web

In GitLab CI/CD setups, builds trigger on main/master and deploy is manual (deploy stage play button).

Cleanup Operations

Remove unused images:

docker image prune -a -f

Remove unused volumes (caution: may remove needed data if unmanaged):

docker volume prune -f

Backup / Restore Discipline

Keep regular Postgres dumps and test restore procedure periodically:

docker compose exec postgres pg_dump -U ai ai > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U ai ai < backup-20240108.sql

Security Hygiene

• Change default passwords and credentials.
• Use strong auth and webhook secrets.
• Restrict SSH access and CI variable visibility.
• Enable SSL/TLS in front of app services.
• Keep host OS, Docker, and dependencies updated.

Maintenance Checklist

• Backups are current and restorable
• Migrations applied after each release
• Stale images/volumes pruned safely
• Secrets reviewed and rotated on schedule
• Logs and health checks reviewed for regressions
