Securely self host ESPOCRM

[Terrestri]

For my small business, I want to securely self host espocrm. I’ve selfhosted a few applications for fun but this will be my first serious project. I will have my customer data which I want backed up and secure. I have followed installation steps on a ec2 micro server and the application is working fine, but I’m totally confused about security and backup.

I’ve looked into DevSec hardening but it has me confused and I don’t have the time to learn the knitty gritty. For backup, I’m looking into Borg.

I’d appreciate any recommendations the community has.

Hello Terrestri
majority of servers company have own backup systems. Espo have own backup script which you can use for backups on demand - Backup and restore - EspoCRM Documentation
You can run them with cron, but you have to make sure to remove old backups to not fill whole hard drive with backups.

You can use Duplicati on a docker to backup your EspoCRM to various services like Google Drive, Onedrive and many others, which are also free. It also allows to configure retention and have GUI.
