2. Fixing Common Issues 🔧

Service Won't Start: Check the status and logs immediately.

💡 Tips for a Successful Server Setup

Use SSH Keys: Disable password-based root login immediately to prevent brute-force attacks.
Separate Partitions: Use separate partitions for /var, /home, and /tmp to prevent system crashes if logs or user data fill the disk.
Enable Swap: Even on high-RAM systems, a small swap file helps manage memory spikes gracefully.
Documentation: Keep an updated Runbook of every manual change made to the configuration.
