Practical runbooks for operators and maintainers using Ethernity stable v1.

Ethernity creates encrypted, printable recovery artifacts (QR docs, fallback text, and optional shard documents) for offline-capable recovery workflows.

Quick Start Path

If this is your first time:

1. Read Getting Started.
2. Run a test backup from Backup Workflow.
3. Run a full drill from Recovery Workflow.
4. Use Troubleshooting for any parser/render/signature issues.

Choose Your Role

Operators

• Getting Started - first successful backup+recover drill
• Backup Workflow - backup runbooks and checklists
• Recovery Workflow - recovery order and input mode choices
• Recovery Kit - lean vs scanner kit usage and offline posture
• Security and Trust Model - what verification proves (and what it does not)
• Threat Model - assumptions, attack surfaces, controls, and residual risks
• Troubleshooting - common failures and quick fixes

Maintainers

• Maintainer Release Runbook - release prechecks and publishing flow
• Release Artifacts - binary verification and provenance checks
• Command Cheatsheet - common command patterns and config defaults
• Template Gallery - canonical design overview and preview links
• FAQ - short answers to common operator/maintainer questions

Safety Notes

• Treat recovery as an operational process, not just a command.
• Run periodic recovery drills from printed artifacts.
• Keep independent backups; do not rely on one path.
• Prefer offline recovery kit usage whenever possible.
