⚙️ Ubuntu Server Automation Suite

Welcome to Bobby’s Ubuntu Server Automation Suite —
a clean, modular toolkit that transforms a plain Ubuntu server into a ready-to-deploy, auto-managed system! 🚀

---

🧭 Purpose

This project aims to automate and simplify the essential setup tasks for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS servers, including:

• 🐋 Installing and configuring Docker & Docker Compose
• 💾 Backing up Docker folders automatically
• 🔗 Setting up and mounting external storage (for persistent backups or media storage)

Each component works independently — or together — forming a complete, self-maintaining server environment.

🧩 Components Overview

Component	Description	Status
🐳 Docker Installer	Installs Docker Engine, CLI, and Compose on Ubuntu 24.04	✅ Ready
🧠 Docker Backup Script	Automates stopping containers, creating backups, and transferring them remotely	✅ Ready
💾 External Storage Automation	Detects, mounts, and configures external drives for backup or media use	⚙️ Coming Soon

🧰 Why This Suite?

• 🔒 Consistency: Every script is safe to rerun — idempotent and reversible
• 🧑‍💻 Simplicity: One-command setup, clean logging, and minimal dependencies
• 🧩 Modularity: Use only what you need (Docker install, backup, or storage)
• ⚙️ Automation: Turn manual admin chores into predictable, scheduled tasks
• 📦 Scalability: Ideal for home labs, media servers, or development stacks

---

🪄 Quick Start

1️⃣ Install Docker and Docker Compose

chmod +x install-docker.sh
./install-docker.sh

2️⃣ Set Up Automated Backups

chmod +x docker-backup.sh
sudo systemctl enable --now docker-backup.timer

3️⃣ (Coming Soon) Integrate External Storage

chmod +x setup-external-storage.sh
./setup-external-storage.sh

This will automatically detect your external drive, mount it, and configure it as your backup destination.

🧾 Upcoming Additions

Planned Feature	Description
🧮 Storage Health Monitor	Tracks disk space and notifies via email or Telegram
☁️ Remote Sync	Syncs backups to a secondary remote or cloud destination
🛡️ Incremental Backup	Optional rsync mode for differential backups
