Files and directories the software suite owns

Short answer: if a file under the paths below is hand-edited, your operator’s next maintenance run will overwrite the change. Tell your operator what you wanted to do instead — they almost certainly have a flag or a different path for it.

Don’t hand-edit these:

  • /etc/dokploy/traefik/dynamic/*.yml — managed by dashboard-sync
  • /etc/catena/backup.env — managed by your operator’s automation
  • /etc/catena/restic.pass — managed by your operator’s automation
  • /etc/systemd/system/catena-*.{service,timer} — managed by your operator’s automation
  • /usr/local/bin/run-backup.sh, /usr/local/bin/dashboard-sync, /usr/local/bin/gatus-sync, /usr/local/bin/auto-update.sh — managed by your operator’s automation

If a file at one of these paths carries a header that says it was machine-rendered, treat it as read-only.

What you CAN touch without asking:

  • Apps deployed through Dokploy’s UI (those are yours)
  • Your Keycloak users/groups (that’s the point of self-service SSO)
  • Anything in /home/<your-users>/ (the operator doesn’t touch home dirs)
