📘 Getting Started & Common Fixes
Navigating different distributions requires knowing the right tools for the job.
1. The Universal Package Manager Cheat Sheet
Each "family" of Linux uses a different system to manage software:
| Distribution Family | Package Manager | Update Command |
| Debian / Ubuntu | apt |
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade |
| RHEL / Rocky / Fedora | dnf / yum |
sudo dnf upgrade |
| Arch Linux | pacman |
sudo pacman -Syu |
| SUSE | zypper |
sudo zypper update |
2. Fixing Common Connectivity & Permission Issues
-
SSH Access Denied: Check if the service is running:
sudo systemctl status ssh. If you've updated your keys, ensure the permissions are correct:chmod 700 ~/.ssh && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. -
Disk Space Exhaustion: Use
df -hto find the full partition anddu -sh /* | sort -hto find the specific folder consuming space.
🚀 Tips for a Successful Server Setup
-
Always Use Key-Based Authentication: Disable password logins for SSH immediately to prevent brute-force attacks.
-
Document Everything with Runbooks: Ensure every manual change is recorded, or better yet, scripted via Ansible.
-
Monitor Early: Don't wait for a crash. Install monitoring agents (like Prometheus or Zabbix) during the initial OS provisioning.
-
Stay "Leaned Out": Only install the packages you absolutely need. A smaller footprint means a smaller attack surface.
