📘 Command Essentials & Troubleshooting

 

 

1. Navigating Distributions

 

While the kernel is the same, the package managers differ. Use these to start:

 

  • Ubuntu/Debian:sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

  • RHEL/Rocky/Alma:sudo dnf check-update && sudo dnf upgrade

  • Arch:sudo pacman -Syu

 

 

2. Fixing Common Issues

 

  • Disk Space Exhaustion: * Command:du -sh /* | sort -h

    • Fix: Identify large logs in /var/log and rotate them using logrotate.

  • High Load Average: * Command:top or uptime.

    • Fix: Check for "zombie" processes or I/O wait times using iostat.

  • Permission Denied: * Command:ls -l and chmod/chown.

    • Fix: Ensure the web server user (like www-data or nginx) has ownership of the application folder.

 

 

 


 

 

💡 Tips for Successful Server Installation

 

  • Partition Wisely: Always separate /var, /home, and / to prevent system crashes if logs or user data fill the disk.

  • Disable Root SSH: Never allow direct root login. Use SSH keys and a non-standard port for initial hardening.

  • Documentation: Maintain an operational runbook. If a configuration is changed, document the why and the how.

  • Update Immediately: Post-installation, the first command should always be a full system update to close Day-0 vulnerabilities.
