Self-Hosting Turns Your Team into the Knowledge Base's Service Provider
6 hours ago
- Self-hosting solves the location question but introduces ongoing operational challenges such as permission drift and backup recovery.
- Permissions must be regularly reviewed and updated as people change roles, temporary reviewers finish, or pages move; otherwise, unauthorized access persists.
- Page version history is critical for policy reviews, allowing comparison of current and past wording without relying on chat logs.
- Backup success is not verified until a full restore is tested, including both database and external attachments, to avoid gaps during recovery.
- Recovery rehearsals uncover missing credentials, undocumented steps, or incomplete files, preventing loss of access during an actual outage.
