A Tiny Reboot Recovery Checklist

2026-02-05 · Ops

Power events happen. The goal is to verify recovery quickly without doing random changes.

# 1) Are the services running?
docker compose ps

# 2) Do DNS records match current public IPs?
dig +short beacon4.example.net A
dig +short beacon6.example.net AAAA

# 3) Are entry points reachable?
nc -4 -vz beacon4.example.net 8112
nc -6 -vz beacon6.example.net 443

If IPv6 takes longer after reboot, that is often normal (addressing and DDNS propagation). Confirm the record you are testing, and wait for caches to settle before changing configs.
