<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 welcome. We all start somewhere, and I would love if I could get your foot in the door.</p>
|
|
<p>This is a WIP, so 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>TODO:Get a server</li>
|
|
<li><a href="/blog/debian-server-setup.html">Basic Debian Server setup (with some security)</a></li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Get a domain name</li>
|
|
<li><a href="/blog/add-domain-to-server.html">Connect your server and domain name</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Now you officially own, and have setup a server. Currently all you can do is SSH into it though, 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/domain name</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>TODO:Install nginx</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Setup your first website</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Add an SSL certificate w/Certbot</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Nginx web hardening</li>
|
|
<li>TODO: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>TODO:Install mariaDB</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:SQL cheatsheet</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Adminer install</li>
|
|
<li>TODO: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 it back</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>TODO:Setup rsync</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Setup rdiff-backup</li>
|
|
<li>TODO: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>TODO:Setup Qemu/KVM</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Setup a bridged adapter</li>
|
|
<li>TODO:Setup a virtual machine</li>
|
|
<li>TODO: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>
|
|
