⚡ Essential Commands by Family

🔧 Fixing Common Issues

1. "No Space Left on Device":

   • The Fix: Use du -sh /* 2>/dev/null | sort -h to find large directories. Check /var/log for runaway logs or /tmp for bloated temporary files.

2. Forgotten Root Password:

   • The Fix: Reboot, edit the GRUB boot entry (press e), find the line starting with linux, append rw init=/bin/bash, and press Ctrl+X to boot into a root shell to run passwd.

3. SSH Connection Refused:

   • The Fix: Check the service status (systemctl status sshd) and ensure the port is open in the firewall (sudo ufw allow 22 or firewall-cmd --add-service=ssh).

💡 Tips for a Successful Server Setup

• Use LVM (Logical Volume Management): Always partition with LVM. It allows you to resize disks later without reformatting.

• SSH Key-Only Authentication: Disable password logins immediately to prevent 99% of brute-force attacks.

• Standardize Your Environment: Use a configuration management tool (like Ansible) even for a single server to ensure you can recreate it in minutes if it fails.

• Monitor Early: Don't wait for a crash. Install basic monitoring (like netdata or htop) from day one.
