🛠️ Common Fixes & Server Setup Tips

A successful server isn't just "installed"—it is hardened and optimized.

💡 Success Tips for Server Setup

1. Use Static IPs: Never rely on DHCP for a production server. Edit your Netplan or NetworkManager configs to ensure the IP never changes.

2. SSH Hardening: Change the default port 22 to something custom and disable root login. Use SSH keys instead of passwords.

3. Logical Volume Management (LVM): Always use LVM during installation. It allows you to resize partitions later without reformatting.

4. Automatic Security Patches: On Ubuntu, use unattended-upgrades; on RHEL, use dnf-automatic.

🚑 Fixing Common Issues

• Issue: Disk is Full.

  • Fix: Run df -h to find the culprit. Clear old logs with sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=7d.

• Issue: SSH Connection Refused.

  • Fix: Check if the service is running: sudo systemctl status ssh. Ensure the firewall allows the port: sudo ufw allow 22 (Ubuntu) or sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=22/tcp --permanent (RHEL).

• Issue: High CPU Load.

  • Fix: Run htop. Use k to kill a rogue process or renice to lower its priority.
