[n0mad] if i want to do a backup am i good to just backup the directory and do a database dump? is there any sort of gotcha? i don't find much about backing up other than one statement of "it's good to backup before upgrading" or something.

jeremycherfas [n0mad]: You can also try a data export which, if the stars align, can be reimported into a fresh install.

[n0mad] jeremycherfas: thanks. yeah i saw that too just would like to automate something so i don't have to think about it. lol, stars aligh...i believe it
#
jeremycherfas I'm not competent enough to write a plugin to back up, but I'm sure it could be done.

#
[n0mad] well, if it's just a matter of backing up those things I can just script that out
#
[n0mad] and not because i know how, i just can find it on google lol
#
jeremycherfas I'm sure a regular database dump and rsync for the rest would be plenty.

#
snarfed hi all! re no more hosted known service, consider updating https://indieweb.org/Known and https://indieweb.org/web_hosting#Hosted_CMS_Software_as_Service to reflect that?
#
snarfed (i'm happy to, but you all know the details better than me)
#
[tantek] snarfed, in as much as you can update the details minimally that would be great!
#
[tantek] otherwise it becomes a to-do for someone else to track an then more overhead than just the minimal edit
#
[tantek] (and less chance of it being taken care of)
#
snarfed [tantek]: is the hosted service entirely dead? still running but not accepting new signups? actually open to new signups after all? i don't actually know :P
#
snarfed otherwise agreed, i would have just done it myself

#
[tantek] Snarfed, ok to capture those Qs in the update to indicate the current unclear state!
#
[tantek] Doing so increase the chance that someone will answer them
