Maintenance Procedures Guide

This comprehensive guide covers all maintenance procedures for the HostingCo system, including routine maintenance, system updates, performance optimization, and preventive care.

Maintenance Overview

The HostingCo system requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance, security, and reliability. This guide provides detailed procedures for all maintenance activities.

Maintenance Categories

  • Routine Maintenance - Daily, weekly, and monthly tasks
  • System Updates - Software patches and version upgrades
  • Performance Optimization - Database and application tuning
  • Security Maintenance - Security updates and vulnerability patches
  • Backup Maintenance - Backup verification and restoration testing
  • Monitoring Maintenance - Alert system and monitoring tool upkeep

Automated Maintenance Scripts

The project includes comprehensive automation scripts for all maintenance operations:

# Health monitoring and checks
./scripts/health-check.sh --detailed --watch

# System cleanup and maintenance
./scripts/clean.sh --deep --cache --logs

# Database maintenance
./scripts/db-migrate.sh production
./scripts/db-reset.sh development --force

# Docker maintenance
./scripts/docker-down.sh --volumes --remove-orphans
./scripts/docker-build.sh production --no-cache

# Complete system maintenance
./scripts/maintenance.sh --all --backup

For complete maintenance script documentation, see Automation Scripts.
