You're very right to point out high availability and disaster recovery. I must be honest that I haven't considered the impact that the use of SQLite has on redundancy, but in the multiple years that I have been running the forum I never needed it, a single instance of the forum works perfectly fine. I would say that for most communities, setting up the forum on a VPS and letting it run will be perfectly adequate and that creating redundant servers would be overkill. As for backups, of course we do have them. Although I've also recently learned that we could be handling them better. SQLite has a backup API that we should make use of[1]. The main reason I have set up CloudFlare is for DDoS protection. I learned the hard way that Digital Ocean will null route a VPS' network if they detect a DDoS. 1 - https://www.sqlite.org/backup.html https://www.sqlite.org/backup.html
