Operations

Because Nona is self-hosted, operating the service is part of the product story.

This section covers the core operational topics that sit next to deployment:

  • security and authentication
  • single sign-on
  • backups
  • upgrades

Once Nona is live, the usual operational work is:

  1. secure admin access
  2. manage users and project access
  3. back up /var/lib/nona
  4. review audit history after sensitive changes
  5. upgrade the container without losing persistent data

That is the sequence this section is designed to support.

Use these docs when:

  • you are preparing a production deployment
  • multiple teams or users will operate the service
  • you are planning maintenance work
  • you want a safer self-hosted operating model

If you are setting up a real production instance, begin with:

  1. Security and authentication
  2. Backups
  3. Upgrades

When should I start reading the operations docs?

Section titled “When should I start reading the operations docs?”

Start when you are preparing a real production deployment or when more than one person will operate the instance.

Are operations docs only about infrastructure?

Section titled “Are operations docs only about infrastructure?”

No.

They also cover operator workflows such as admin access, backups, upgrades, and reviewing operational history.

What should I secure first in a production setup?

Section titled “What should I secure first in a production setup?”

Start with admin access and authentication, then make sure backups are in place before treating the instance as production-ready.

Why are operations part of the product story for Nona?

Section titled “Why are operations part of the product story for Nona?”

Because Nona is self-hosted.

That means operating the service is part of using the product correctly, not a separate concern you can ignore.
