Check systemd service status: `systemctl status debian-forge` 2. Review service logs: `journalctl -u debian-forge` 3. Verify configuration files 4. Check file permissions and ownership #### Performance Issues 1. Monitor system resources: `htop`, `iotop` 2. Check database performance 3. Review build queue length 4. Analyze performance metrics #### Authentication Problems 1. Verify user database integrity 2. Check password policies 3. Review authentication logs 4. Test user login process ## Backup and Recovery ### Backup Procedures #### Configuration Backup ```bash # Backup configuration directory tar -czf config-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz config/ # Backup database files cp *.db backup/ ``` #### Database Backup ```bash # SQLite backup sqlite3 users.db .dump > backup/users-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql # PostgreSQL backup pg_dump debian_forge > backup/postgres-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql ``` ### Recovery Procedures #### Configuration Recovery 1. Stop the service: `systemctl stop debian-forge` 2. Restore configuration files 3. Verify file permissions 4. Start the service: `systemctl start debian-forge` #### Database Recovery 1. Stop the service 2. Restore database from backup 3. Verify database integrity 4. Start the service ## Performance Optimization ### System Tuning - **CPU Optimization**: Adjust process priorities - **Memory Management**: Configure swap and memory limits - **Disk I/O**: Optimize storage configuration - **Network Tuning**: Optimize network parameters ### Application Tuning - **Database Optimization**: Index optimization and query tuning - **Build Optimization**: Parallel build processing - **Cache Management**: Implement and tune caching - **Resource Pooling**: Optimize resource allocation ## Security Maintenance ### Regular Security Tasks - **Vulnerability Scanning**: Run security audits - **Access Review**: Review user access and permissions - **Security Updates**: Apply security patches - **Configuration Review**: Review security settings ### Incident Response 1. **Detection**: Identify security incidents 2. **Assessment**: Evaluate incident severity 3. **Containment**: Limit incident impact 4. **Eradication**: Remove security threats 5. **Recovery**: Restore normal operations 6. **Lessons Learned**: Document and improve procedures ## Monitoring and Alerting ### Key Metrics to Monitor - **System Resources**: CPU, memory, disk, network - **Application Performance**: Response times, throughput - **Build Queue**: Queue length, processing times - **Security Events**: Authentication failures, access attempts ### Alerting Configuration - **Threshold Alerts**: Resource usage alerts - **Performance Alerts**: Response time and error rate alerts - **Security Alerts**: Security incident notifications - **Service Alerts**: Service availability notifications
