Operating Self-Hosted Platforms in Production
A practical day-2 operations baseline for tools like Plane, ERPNext, Odoo, Nextcloud and PostgreSQL.
Security Baseline
- Role-based access and least privilege policy
- Patch cadence and dependency vulnerability scanning
- Centralized secrets management and rotation policy
- Audit logging with retention and review process
Reliability Baseline
- Automated backups with periodic restore tests
- Service health checks and uptime monitoring
- Capacity thresholds with scale triggers
- Incident triage runbook and escalation ownership
Operational Ownership Model
Define who owns platform operations, who handles business configuration, and who approves production changes. Most outages in self-hosted stacks are ownership failures, not tooling failures.
