# How-To: `pos system`
|
|
|
|
Host care: encrypted backups, firewall, and the health dashboard. Tools:
|
|
`backup`, `firewall`, `health`.
|
|
|
|
| Tool | What it does |
|
|
|------|--------------|
|
|
| `pos system health` | Host health dashboard (disk, RAM, services, backup age, fail2ban, docker) |
|
|
| `pos system backup` | gpg-encrypted (AES-256) folder snapshots |
|
|
| `pos system firewall` | Interactive UFW ("UFW POWER") management |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## `pos system health` — host health dashboard
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pos system health # console report; exits 1 if any check FAILs
|
|
pos system health --send # also send the summary via notify platforms
|
|
pos system health --markdown # same, markdown parse mode (implies --send)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Checks: disk per mount (>90% = FAIL), RAM/swap, failed systemd units, backup
|
|
age, fail2ban, docker containers. Header shows hostname, uptime, load, public IP.
|
|
|
|
`--help` prints the **effective** config values (env > `system.env` > default),
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Environment (effective values):
|
|
NOTIFY_PLATFORM telegram
|
|
HEALTH_BACKUP_MAX_AGE_DAYS 2
|
|
BACKUP_SERVICE_ROOTS /srv /home/you/srv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# ~/.config/linux_post_install/system.env
|
|
BACKUP_SERVICE_ROOTS=/srv /home/you/srv # where backup-age is checked
|
|
HEALTH_BACKUP_MAX_AGE_DAYS=3 # WARN if newest backup older
|
|
# ~/.config/linux_post_install/notify.env
|
|
NOTIFY_PLATFORM=telegram
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Daily digest (automated)
|
|
|
|
`systemd/pos-health.{service,timer}` run `pos system health --send --markdown`
|
|
at 08:00 as the installing user. Enable it (re-run postinstall after Telegram
|
|
is configured):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./postinstall.sh # enables timer once telegram.env exists
|
|
systemctl list-timers | grep pos-health
|
|
systemctl start pos-health.service # run once now, check status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Recipes:**
|
|
- Watch the backup age without email: enable the digest; if the backup check
|
|
turns WARN you'll see it in the morning report.
|
|
- Exit code in a cron/scheduled check:
|
|
`pos system health >/dev/null 2>&1 || notify_send "health FAIL"`.
|
|
|
|
**Troubleshooting:**
|
|
- `[WARN] fail2ban installed but not running` → expected unless you have it
|
|
active; start it (`sudo systemctl enable --now fail2ban`) or ignore.
|
|
- `[FAIL] services: nbd-server.service …` → a failed unit; inspect with
|
|
`systemctl status <unit>`.
|
|
- `--send` prints a warn and exits 0 when no platform is configured — by design
|
|
(see [communication](communication.md)).

## `pos system backup` — encrypted folder snapshots
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pos system backup <folder-path> # encrypt to ./<name>_<date>.tar.gz.gpg
|
|
pos system backup --service # pick a folder from /srv + ~/srv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Uses `sudo tar` + gpg AES-256. The password is prompted **twice and never
|
|
stored**; the artifact is `chmod 600`. On success (and on failure, via ERR
|
|
trap) a `notify_send` alert is sent.
|
|
|
|
`--service` lists folders under the roots in `BACKUP_SERVICE_ROOTS`
|
|
(default `/srv $HOME/srv`; override via `system.env` or env) and lets you pick.
|
|
|
|
### Recipes
|
|
|
|
- **Nightly service backup + health check:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/backups && pos system backup --service
|
|
pos system health # "backup: 0d old" turns OK
|
|
```
|
|
- **Cron it and get alerted:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
30 3 * * * cd ~/backups && pos system backup --service >> ~/backups/backup.log 2>&1
|
|
```
|
|
Success/failure are sent to Telegram automatically.
|
|
|
|
**Troubleshooting:**
|
|
- "Root not found: …" → the default roots don't exist; set `BACKUP_SERVICE_ROOTS`
|
|
in `system.env`.
|
|
- Forgot the password → backups are unrecoverable; keep the passphrase in a
|
|
password manager. Nothing is stored anywhere else.
|
|
- `sudo tar` prompt: ensure the user has sudo rights for the source dir.

## `pos system firewall` — interactive UFW ("UFW POWER")
|
|
|
|
**Must run as root:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pos system firewall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Interactive menu: add rule (port/service/IP/directional), delete by number or
|
|
text, status (simple/verbose/numbered), enable/disable/reset, default policies,
|
|
and an executed-command history. Supports `--dry-run`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pos system firewall --dry-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every command is **previewed and confirmed** before execution. Executed
|
|
mutating changes are announced via `notify_send` (read-only `ufw status` is
|
|
not).
|
|
|
|
### Recipes
|
|
- Open SSH + a service:
|
|
`add rule → port/service → 22/tcp`, then `8080/tcp`; finish with `enable`.
|
|
- See current rules for deletion: menu `3) Show status → numbered`.
|
|
- `--dry-run` to rehearse a rule batch safely.
|
|
|
|
**Troubleshooting:**
|
|
- "Please run as root" → you need `sudo pos system firewall` (the notify config
|
|
still uses your user's `$HOME`, so alerts keep working).
|
|
- Accidentally locked yourself out of SSH → console into the host,
|
|
`sudo ufw allow 22/tcp`, then `sudo ufw reload`.
|
|
- `ufw reset` requires typing `RESET` — deliberate.
