|
||||||
|
<p>This section assumes you have a fresh Debian 11 install on a server (either physical or VPS)</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>It will cover installing the essentials for access, and basic security so you don't need to worry in the future. This section may seem a little daunting for a first-time linux user, but most of it is copy/paste, hopefully with enough description to understand what is being done.</p>
|
||||||
|
</section>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<section>
|
||||||
|
<p>This first section will be done on the physical PC, or on the VPS via their website</p>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Update the OS</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Even with a fresh install of Debian from the latest ISO, there may be some updates you're missing, and it's a good idea to have these, especially in case they're security updates.</p>>
|
||||||
|
<pre>
|
||||||
|
<code>
|
||||||
|
root# apt update && apt upgrade
|
||||||
|
</code>
|
||||||
|
</pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Install essential packages</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>These are packages that are needed for accessing, and controlling the server</p>
|
||||||
|
<pre>
|
||||||
|
<code>
|
||||||
|
root# apt install sudo ssh
|
||||||
|
</code>
|
||||||
|
</pre>
|
||||||
|
<h3>Some useful packages too</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre>
|
||||||
|
<code>
|
||||||
|
root# apt install vim htop wget curl tmux
|
||||||
|
</code>
|
||||||
|
</pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Add a user, and give super user privilleges</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>You want to avoid using root as much as possible in regular use, so a new user for yourself is a must</p>
|
||||||
|
<pre>
|
||||||
|
<code>
|
||||||
|
root# adduser <USERNAME>
|
||||||
|
root# usermod -aG sudo <USERNAME>
|
||||||
|
</code>
|
||||||
|
</pre>
|
||||||
|
<p>*replace <USERNAME> with the user you want to create, e.g. nathan</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Set static IP</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>TODO: Homeserver</strong>. If the server is a physical PC in your home you will need to set a static IP, otherwise your router could assign a differnent IP on reboot, and this would mess with port forwarding, and internal DNS.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Secure ssh</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Setup UFW</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Set hostname</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Setting the name for a server is an important step, but the name doesn't need to be serious</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</section>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<section>
|
||||||
|
<p>This next section can be done via a terminal, or a SSH client else you can secure shell with e.g. PuTTY for Windows</p>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Create an SSH key</h2>
|
||||||
|
<h2>SSH into the server</h2>
|
||||||
|

<p class="intro">If you want to start getting into server hosting, system administration, or just want to get a basic minecraft/web server up for you and your friends, then welcom. We all start somewhere, and I would love if I could get your foot in the door.<br/>I'll be adding to this guide whenever I get time, and will update it's readibility once it's 'complete'.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Basic Server setup</h2>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Get a server</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="/blog/debian-server-setup.html">Basic Debian Server setup (with some security)</a></li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Get a domain name</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Connect your server and domain name</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>Now you officially own a server, but currently all you can do is SSH into it, so let's get some services on there</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Nginx Webserver</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>A great first service for any server is a website, even if it's just a little page to let people know you own the server</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Install nginx</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup your first website</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Add an SSL certificate w/Certbot</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Nginx web hardening</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Add PHP to your webserver (optional)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>MariaDB Database</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>A database is a great tool to store, access, and filter data. Typically used alongside a website, or other services, but can be useful standalone if you know what you're doing</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Install mariaDB</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>SQL cheatsheet</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Adminer install</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Backup databases (optional)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Backup your server!</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Backups are super useful. If something breaks, or gets accidentally deleted you can always use a backup to get back to operational</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup rsync</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup rdiff-backup</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup backup cronjob(s)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Run virtual machines</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Virtual machines allow you to use your server as multiple servers at once, with different operating systems, services, files, etc.</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup Qemu/KVM</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup a bridged adapter</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Setup a virtual machine</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Virsh cheatsheet</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Proxy services to port 80/433</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Many services you install will be accessible via the web, but will use a different ports. Proxying these allows access (and security) without the need to append a port to the server address</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Additional services/potential guides</h2>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|

||||||
