Linux Server Setup Basic
published on 2024/08/26
This is a post I've been meaning to do for a while. While it's simple to explain how to set up an app for self-hosting, it's pointless to host an app on a weak foundation. It's a massive pain in my ass to start every how to with a section on server setup, so I'm also making this post for myself as a reference on how I like to set up a server for apps I'm hosting. I'll start with basic stuff like proper login with SSH and non-root user set up and making users for each app. I'll also touch on NGINX setup, some quality of life tools that make server management easier, log management and basic network security.
