# Operate

Running the hub on your own node, day to day: deploy it as a service, decide
how machines reach it, back it up, upgrade it, watch it, and get a nudge when
something starts waiting on you.

* [Deploy as a service](/operate/deploy-as-a-service.md) - Run the hub under Podman Quadlet or Docker, and start it on boot
* [Network and access](/operate/network-and-access.md) - Bind the hub, terminate TLS, or reach it over a tailnet
* [Back up and restore](/operate/backup-and-restore.md) - Back up, verify, and restore the hub store as one unit
* [Upgrade and roll back](/operate/upgrade-and-rollback.md) - Migrate forward on upgrade, and roll back to an earlier store
* [Monitoring](/operate/monitoring.md) - Watch health, metrics, integrity, and the limits that grow with use
* [Notifications](/operate/notifications.md) - Nudge a closed app through a notification target you run
