Move WordPress to a VPS safely: prepare and secure the server, synchronize files and data, test before DNS cutover, monitor the switch, and plan rollback.
Docker Network manages container connectivity, DNS service name, bridge, port publishing and frontend/backend separation; see path errors and security errors.
Excessive program output and logging driver without rotation can fill the disk. Set active driver, log storm cause, max-size/max-file, retention and warning in principle.
Disk decoder usage can be image, container layer, log, volume, or build cache. First, find the location and owner, and then proceed with the exact backup and target.
Volume keeps data outside the written layer container. Check the differences between volume, bind mount and tmpfs, permissions, lifecycle, performance and selection criteria.
Usually terminate Docker TLS services on a reverse proxy; select ACME challenge, keep private key, extend, reload and perform external testing correctly.
To connect Nginx to Docker, set up a shared network, service name, host and forwarded header, WebSocket, timeout, upstream health, and IP trust limit.
Design the Dockerfile to produce, base, build multi-phase, cache, secret, non-root, signal, healthcheck and final image test.
Run the app with contract, multi-step Dockerfile, user non-root, external configuration, healthcheck, volume, secret, CI and Dockerize secure test.
Docker packs apps and dependencies into a repeatable image; check its benefits, limitations, and criteria for team, production, and MVP selection.
Server monitoring should cover user access, latency, error, CPU, RAM, disk, network, service, database, TLS and backup with Alert and Runbook that can be acted upon.
Design a professional server backup with RPO/RTO, compatible database and file versions, encryption, retention, separation, immutability, monitoring and restore testing.
