Use an existing framework, focus on the basics. And don't use blockchain.

Interesting, why not blockchain, thought of it because suppose the website shuts down, people can still verify the files.

Use non-overwriting backup, with very long retention cycles for any live data and configuration.

>why not blockchain

Why blockchain? Many things involve integrity checks other than blockchain.

Are you not educated on the alternatives, and thus only suggestion what you know?

Again, blockchain seemed like a good solution because I am trying to make the whole verification independent of my platform. I don't want the data to be gone if my site goes down. Here by blockchain, I mean public blockchains
