I provide comprehensive, enterprise-grade Linux administration and support services to businesses in Detroit, Michigan (including 48201, 48202, 48226, and surrounding areas).
Whether you are located in the heart of Motor City or operating globally, I deliver high-performance systems management tailored to your needs.
While I am proud to support the local Detroit tech ecosystem, all services are available 100% remotely, ensuring rapid response times and 24/7 reliability without the overhead of onsite visits.
I handle the heavy lifting of system architecture and maintenance so you can focus on your business.
🏗️ System Setup & Management: Full OS installation, configuration, hardening, and kernel patch management.
📊 Monitoring & Performance: Real-time tuning for CPU, Memory, and I/O to eliminate bottlenecks.
🛡️ Security & Compliance: Firewall orchestration (iptables/UFW), SELinux/AppArmor hardening, and vulnerability remediation.
💾 Backup & Disaster Recovery: Design and implementation of failover systems and automated recovery testing.
🤖 Automation & DevOps: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and Ansible configuration.
🗄️ Application & Database Support: Optimization for web servers (Nginx/Apache), DBs (MySQL/PostgreSQL), and mail servers.
I offer expert-level support for all major Linux distributions, including:
Enterprise: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES), Oracle Linux.
Community/Server: Ubuntu Server, Debian, CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux.
Specialized/Cloud: Amazon Linux, Fedora, Arch Linux, Alpine Linux, Gentoo.
Each distribution family has its own "personality." Here is a quick reference for managing them effectively.
| Family | Distribution | Primary Command |
| Debian/Ubuntu | Ubuntu, Debian, Mint | sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade |
| RHEL/Fedora | RHEL, Rocky, Alma, CentOS | sudo dnf check-update && sudo dnf upgrade |
| Arch | Arch Linux, Manjaro | sudo pacman -Syu |
Permission Denied: Use ls -l to check ownership. Fix with sudo chown user:group /path or sudo chmod 755 /path.
Service Won't Start: Check the status immediately: systemctl status service_name. Use journalctl -xe to see the exact error log.
Disk Space Full: Find the culprit with du -sh /* | sort -h. Clear logs with journalctl --vacuum-time=7d.
For a production-ready environment, I recommend following these best practices:
🔑 Disable Root SSH: Always use a standard user with sudo privileges and disable password-based root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
🛡️ Use a Firewall from Day 1: Even if the server is internal, enable ufw or firewalld to limit traffic to strictly necessary ports (22, 80, 443).
⏱️ Synchronize Time: Ensure chrony or ntp is running. Inconsistent system clocks cause major issues with logs, databases, and authentication tokens.
📜 Documentation is King: Keep a "Runbook." If you change a configuration file, comment on why you changed it and when.
