The card content spans multiple lines without proper formatting. Consider breaking this into separate bullet points or using proper markdown list formatting for better readability.

Suggested change

	procedures - Bulk and live loading methods - Data integrity verification
	- Exporting from Dgraph Cloud and Hypermode Graph
	- Schema and ACL backup procedures

Similar to the previous card, the content is not properly formatted as a list. The content appears to run together without proper line breaks or list formatting.

Suggested change

	VPS configurations - Load balancing and storage setup
	- Kubernetes deployments (EKS, GKE, AKS, DOKS)
	- Docker Compose setups
	- Linux VPS configurations
	- Load balancing and storage setup

The tab content is not properly formatted as a list. The specifications should be formatted as bullet points for consistency with other tabs.

Double square brackets syntax is incorrect for bash test conditions. Should use single square brackets [ or the test command.

Suggested change

	if [[ -f "schema.graphql" ]]; then
	if [ -f "exported_data/g01.rdf.gz" ]; then zcat exported_data/g01.rdf.gz | wc -l
	fi
	# For JSON exports, validate structure
	if [ -f "exported_data/g01.json.gz" ]; then
	zcat exported_data/g01.json.gz | jq '.[] | keys' | head -10
	fi

# Validate schema syntax
if [ -f "schema.graphql" ]; then

The code block is improperly formatted. The # Check status comment and subsequent commands should be properly separated with line breaks.

Suggested change

	# Check status
	docker-compose ps
	# View logs
	docker-compose logs -f dgraph-alpha-1

[Copilot]

The code block formatting is broken. Commands should be on separate lines with proper indentation and spacing.

Suggested change

	-a /etc/fstab ```
	```bash
	# Update system (run on all nodes)
	sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
	# Install required packages
	sudo apt install -y curl wget unzip htop iotop
	# Configure firewall
	sudo ufw allow ssh
	sudo ufw allow 8080 # Dgraph Alpha HTTP
	sudo ufw allow 9080 # Dgraph Alpha gRPC
	sudo ufw allow 5080 # Dgraph Zero
	sudo ufw allow 6080 # Dgraph Zero HTTP
	sudo ufw enable
	# Set up swap (if needed)
	sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
	sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
	sudo mkswap /swapfile
	sudo swapon /swapfile
	echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

The code block formatting is broken. Commands should be properly separated with line breaks instead of being run together.

Suggested change

	curl -X POST localhost:8080/admin/schema \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	-d @schema_backup.json

The --files argument appears to be incomplete or improperly formatted. It should specify the actual file path.

Suggested change

	/data/export.rdf.gz \
	--files /data/export.rdf.gz \

[Copilot]

The code block formatting is broken with improper line continuation. The curl command should be properly formatted across multiple lines.

Suggested change

	\"password\"}) { user { name } } }"}'
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	-d '{"query": "mutation { addUser(input: {name: \"admin\", password: \"password\"}) { user { name } } }"}'
