Nothing special to report, as far as I can remember now, but does not
means zero risk.
Basically, the (Debian) server contains:
- one image and associated files, including the 'files' folder.
- several virtual host configurations, one per distribution (in my
configurations), which redirect http requests to the corresponding
seaside/pier distribution/application.
The image is automatically saved, each time one of the distributions
is modified. This works technically fine, but the risk is to save
your image with corrupted objects. For example, I had troubles with
the search widget (on pages that contain text copied from a word document).
All in all, AFAIK, this method is less frequently used for deploying
Pier distributions. So, I'd recommend the follwoings:
- double check some critical routines, including persistence,
- configure both your server and image for a remote (emergency)
access via VNC, and
- backup regularly your image + files
Hoping this helps,
Cheers,
