Every 75 days¶
- TRMM Server OS updates
- Reboot TRMM server
- Renew LetsEncrypt Certs
- Update TRMM
- Check your backups. Especially scheduled ones and make sure you're running the latest
./backup.sh(You're reading the release notes at every update, right?)
Bi-annually¶
- Clean up old agents
Don't do these things¶
Your Tactical NoNo List
- Clone agents with TRMM agent installed. Make your master image with no TRMM agent installed, script the install for first time boot after imaging.
- Do in place distro upgrades or move vms to new hardware, instead use Backup and Restore scripts to move the server to new vm's
- Run
install.shorrestore.shmore than once. They're one-shot scripts to be ran on clean VMs only. - Use TRMMs powers for Evil. Just don't, make better choices!
