I could use a little sysadmin advice, because this is really my firsttime hosting other people and I don't want to screw it up.
I've got weekly backups arranged via Vultr, but I'm also thinking ofsetting up a cron job that takes nightly backups of all users'public_gemini directories using tar and gzip.
Admittedly this is something users should be doing for themselves ifthey're using their shell accounts to write instead of uploading fromtheir own machines, but I want tanelorn.city to be a welcoming placefor writers even if they aren't Unix wizards, and I think that meansmaking sure their data is safe.
Is this something that other pubnixes provide for users' homedirectories? Are there any downsides I should be aware of aside fromthe impact on CPU and storage as more people join tanelorn.city?
