# Purpose-Specific S3 Bucket Architecture ## Motivation The original `hermes-live-sync.sh` was a monolithic script pushing everything — Hermes state, Docker volumes, Caddyfile, systemd configs — into a single `s3://hermes-vps-backups/live/` prefix. This made it hard to: - Grant granular IAM access (Docker volumes accessible to scripts that only needed Hermes configs) - Replicate specific data categories to different regions - Audit which scripts own which files - Reason about data isolation during DR ## Normalization (2026-07-08) Split into 5 buckets plus 1 legacy bucket: | Bucket | Primary Script | Data | |---|---|---| | `hermes-vps-backups/live/` | `hermes-live-sync.sh` | Hermes state: config.yaml, .env, state.db, sessions/, skills/, profiles/, cron/, memory_store.db | | `hermes-vps-backups/hermes-full-backup/` | `hermes-backup.sh` | Daily full archive tarballs (~350MB compressed) | | `itpropartner-system-configs/` | `hermes-system-config-sync.sh` | System configs: Caddyfile, systemd services, ops scripts, SSH keys, .env + AWS creds | | `itpropartner-docker-volumes/` | `hermes-docker-sync.sh` | Docker volume data: Docuseal, Vaultwarden, TwentyCRM, SearXNG, Ollama | | `mikrotik-ccr-backups/` | `run-wisp-backup.sh` + `wisp-backup.py` | Router configs (home gateway, wisp gateway) + logs | | `itpropartner-backups/` | (legacy — manual) | Old signatures, test files, migrated router config copies | ## Exclusions The `hermes-vps-backups/live/` sync excludes: audio_cache, image_cache, cache, sandboxes, kanban, node, bin, logs, *.lock, .skills_prompt_snapshot.json, .update_check. The `itpropartner-system-configs/` scripts/ sync excludes: `.backups/`, `migration-backup/`, `*.pyc`, `__pycache__/`. The `itpropartner-system-configs/` ssh/ sync excludes: known_hosts, authorized_keys, config. ## Script Locations All scripts at `/root/.hermes/scripts/`: - `hermes-live-sync.sh` — Hermes state only - `hermes-system-config-sync.sh` — System configs - `hermes-docker-sync.sh` — Docker volumes ## Dashboard The ops portal (`/var/www/ops/backups.html`) tracks all 6 bucket paths via `ops-data-collector.py` (every 5 min). The dashboard JS maps bucket keys to display names via `DISPLAY_NAMES`: ```js 'hermes-vps-backups': 'Hermes VPS (Live State)', 'hermes-full-backups': 'Hermes VPS (Full Archives)', 'mikrotik-backups': 'MikroTik Router Configs', 'itpropartner-system-configs': 'System Configs (Caddy, systemd, SSH)', 'itpropartner-docker-volumes': 'Docker Volumes (Docuseal, VW, Twenty)', 'itpropartner-backups': 'IT Pro Partner (Legacy)' ``` ## Blocker The IAM user `Hermes-User` lacks `s3:CreateBucket`. The two new buckets (`itpropartner-system-configs`, `itpropartner-docker-volumes`) must be created in the Wasabi Console, then versioning enabled via: ```bash aws s3api put-bucket-versioning --bucket itpropartner-system-configs --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled --endpoint-url https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com aws s3api put-bucket-versioning --bucket itpropartner-docker-volumes --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled --endpoint-url https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com ``` Until the buckets exist, the new sync scripts will silently fail with `NoSuchBucket`.
