Key Features
- Automated backup scripts with rsync and compression
- Log rotation and archival with configurable retention
- Service health monitoring with email/webhook alerts
- System resource monitoring and reporting
- Database backup automation with encryption
- Cron job management and scheduling utilities
Achievements
- Created collection of Bash scripts for common tasks like backups, log rotation, and monitoring
- Automated daily backups to cloud storage with basic retention policies
- Wrote health check scripts to monitor service status and send alerts
Technical Challenges
- Creating portable scripts that work across different Linux distributions
- Implementing error handling and recovery mechanisms
- Managing script dependencies and environment variables
- Building efficient scripts that handle large datasets
System Architecture
The scripts are organized by function (backup, monitoring, maintenance) with a shared library of common functions. Each script includes comprehensive error handling, logging, and can be run standalone or as part of a cron schedule.
