Service Patterns & Conventions

Disk Layout

• Separating runtime from data reduces blast radius and makes backups/restore clearer.
• On the core server, one NVMe is dedicated to OS, one to services, one SATA SSD to persistent data and one for backups
  • / (OS)
  • /srv/docker
  • /srv/<service>
  • data/<service>
  • /backups

Docker conventions

Basic rules / layout

• Compose files live in: /srv/<service>/docker-compose.yml
• Persistent volumes in /data/<service>/...
• data-root in /srv/docker
