💡 Tips for a Successful Server Setup
-
Use Key-Based Authentication: Always disable password-based SSH login to prevent brute-force attacks.
-
LVM is Mandatory: Use Logical Volume Management (LVM) during installation to allow for easy disk resizing in the future.
-
Automate Updates: Set up
unattended-upgrades(Debian) ordnf-automatic(RHEL) for security patches. -
Documentation: Maintain a live "Runbook" documenting every custom configuration change made to the server.
