Six ways to shoot yourself in the foot with #healthchecks

From the "Been there, done that" department:

Crashing your app with bad #healthchecks: https://philbooth.me/blog/six-ways-to-shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-with-healthchecks

The main reason (and my doubt) is that I use #Healthchecks to monitor all these backups. So, if I use only 1 script (that include all the others), and, for example, the second backup fails, the following will be executed?

If I had only 2 or 3 backups I will just put as many entries on cron, but with so many projects (and can be increase), I think this can not be the better option.

Thanks for your time!

Another quick entry in my series on how and what I #SelfHost: #Monitoring

#UptimeKuma monitors and alarms all of the services and hosts I run, #HealthChecks(.io) for monitoring and alarming cron jobs, and #SmokePing for network monitoring (no alarming). I've used #Pushover for years to deliver notifications to my phone, but I'm slowly switching things to #SelfHosted #Gotify

With servers, laptops, and a ton of docker containers, I run network caches to be a good neighbour, and prevent duplicate requests to upstream repos when I'm doing updates, builds, or deployments. For Apt-based repositories, I use Apt-Cacher-NG, for Docker images (runs on swarm), I have a Docker Registry Mirror (runs on swarm), #DevPi as a #PyPi cache (on swarm), and I have Squid running on pfSense for the odd HTTP-cacheable content.

🏷️ #SelfHosting

Alle Jahre wieder - Wartungsscripte und Cronjobs prüfen. #Housekeeping #server #linux #healthchecks

@cfultz I also self-host a bunch of monitoring software:
- #UptimeKuma for my websites and services
- #Scrutiny for disk SMART values
- #Healthchecks for Cronjobs
- #Watchtower for automated container updates
- #Glances as a quick overview of the system's performance

And of course #Nextcloud, which got me started in the first place.

now with the #healthchecks instance i realize how inefficient the prune operations of some of my bigger #restic repos truely are ⌛

do i set up #uptimekuma to expect a ok from curl every 24h from backup scripts or do i use this fancy #healthchecks https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks thing instead :think_bread:
