I’m currently investigating how to integrate the management of the Geoserver data directory in a SCM to track changes, and synchronized between multiple instances (development, test, production)
First of all, I’d like to get advice on which part of the geoserver data directory could be synchronized through SCM, and those directories that should be out of synchronization (e.g. for security or space reasons), being aware that the content of this tracked data directory could exposed in a repository that can be accessed publicly (e.g. Github).
I would also like to get feedback from users/organizations that eventually have already investigated solutions to track Geoserver changes, possibly in a multi-environment context (development, test & production)
Thanks a lot in advance for the advice you could provide,
Kind regards,
Emmanuel

I will back up with Jonathan, backup the settings not the data.
Punting your data directory onto of git works for a simple clean setup.
I have also seen a team use the REST API to extract a configuration for storage (the advantage being that they could reconfigure a new node). It was pretty advanced and not the the faint of heart - but they enjoyed it.
Taking a quite look at mine I’d suggest everything could go into a version control system except maybe:
/security/ and subdirectories - it has a number of password things in it including usernames/passwords. The later may be encrypted, but still probably don’t want to share them.
datastore.xml files within /workspaces/ - these contain connection details for your datastores, at least for Oracle they do. The passwords should be encrypted (if you’ve enabled that), but still.
