Setup automated backups

See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki

Database backups

For example, use automysqlbackup and send the daily/weekly backups to an aws s3 bucket

Note: the s3 bucket needs to be secure as it contains logins

Also, need to create a backup of the LocalSettings.php configuration file.

Page / data backups

Another option is to Export or Publish the mediawiki and upload the data to a public git repo.

Ideally, the wiki could also be published to static-pages hosted by GitHub pages

That way, there will always be a read-only copy of all the pages

Make sections for 1st year FAQ

Setup email server

Done; gmail account created

Secure secret keys
