System Philosophy & Best Practices

Security Hardened SSH access, UFW/iptables firewalls, and Fail2Ban are standard on all active nodes.
Package Management Focus on minimal apt installations to maintain a clean system footprint without bloated dependencies.
Storage Strategy RAID configurations for redundancy and automated rsync-based nightly backups to external off-site storage.

Project Log

  • Home Page Migration: Transitioned from an old layout (2003) to a new css based with language support and better support for mobiles and small screens.
  • Network File System (NFS/Samba): Implemented cross-platform file sharing for seamless integration between Linux and Windows clients.
  • Server Side Includes (SSI): Deployed modular web architecture on this site to separate navigation and header logic from content.
  • Docker Containerization: Moving services into isolated containers to simplify updates and dependency management.
  • Network monitoring: Implemented Syslog and Syslog agents gathering messages.

Resources

I am a firm believer in the open-source community. Most of my configurations are inspired by the official Debian Documentation and the principle of KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
