Backing up IaC

2 years ago by ch8zer to c/selfhosted

Hi all, I have my home lab set up as a single git repo. I’ve got all infrastructure as opentofu / ansible configs, and using git crypt to protect secret files (tofu state, ansible secret values, etc).

How would you back up such a system? Keeping it on my self hosted git creates a circular dependency. I’m hesitant to use a private codeberg repo in case I leak secrets. Just wondering what the rest of you are doing.

I would configure a Backblaze B2 bucket and copy your repos and configs there, should be dirt cheap compared to a VPS and very durable.
