Backups

• PostgreSQL dump daily: pg_dump | gzip > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.gz
• MEDIA_ROOT rsynced offsite daily
• Restore DB: gunzip -c backup-YYYYMMDD.sql.gz | psql "$DATABASE_URL"
• Restore media: rsync -avz <backup-host>:/path/to/media/ /srv/nohypeai/media/

Runtime Notes

• Keep Caddy serving /static/ and /media/ directly in production.
• Keep Gunicorn behind Caddy and run from a systemd service/socket pair.
• Use python manage.py purge_old_comment_data --months 24 in cron for comment-data retention.
