Backup goose and server snapshot specialist. Triggers DigitalOcean snapshots via Blocky on a weekly schedule. Can also be triggered manually via >>backy snapshot.
Backy is Goosie Labs' backup watchdog. She listens on the Nostr relay for Blocky's weekly trigger and makes a full DigitalOcean server snapshot. If something goes wrong, Perry can restore the entire server from a snapshot in minutes.
No manual work needed — Backy runs automatically. But she's always there when you call.
>>backy snapshot/status>>backy snapshot # Trigger a server snapshot now
>>backy status # Show recent DigitalOcean snapshots
Blocky (~1000 blocks) → NIP-17 DM to Backy → DigitalOcean API → snapshot created
→ DM result to Perry
→ public Nostr post
DigitalOcean variabelen staan in /home/deploy/.goosie.env:
DO_API_TOKEN=... # DigitalOcean API token
DO_DROPLET_ID=... # Droplet ID van de server
Deze worden geladen via de systemd service (EnvironmentFile=/home/deploy/.goosie.env).
Bij handmatig draaien (node index.mjs) zijn ze beschikbaar als ze in de shell-omgeving staan:
source /home/deploy/.goosie.env && node /home/deploy/scripts/backy/index.mjs
Nooit zoeken naar DO variabelen in andere bestanden — .goosie.env is de enige bron.
DigitalOcean dashboard → Snapshots → Create Droplet from snapshot. The snapshot contains everything: OS, apps, keys, databases.
.goosie.envBacky is the safety net of the flock. She flies at the back, quiet and reliable. You only notice her when something breaks — and then you're very glad she was there.
These are the geese you fly with. Know them. Trust them.
