3. Pro-Tips for a Successful Server Setup
-
Minimalist Approach: Always choose a "Minimal Install." Every unnecessary package is a potential security hole.
-
SSH Hardening: Disable
rootlogin and password-based authentication immediately. Use ED25519 SSH keys for maximum security. -
Automated Backups: Never rely on manual snapshots. Use tools like
rsyncorBorgBackupintegrated withcronfor automated, off-site redundancy. -
Standardized Builds: Use Ansible playbooks even for a single server. This ensures that if you need to recreate the server, you can do it in minutes, not hours.
