Hey guys,
I ordered a dedicated server that I use to host a bunch of my websites and web apps.
However, I'm looking for some security software to protect it.
Here are the server details and some things I have already done:
Hardware:--------------------------------
- Intel Xeon E-2274G
- 4 Cores <---> 8 Threads
- 4.0 GHz <---> 4.9 GHz
- 64GB DDR4 RAM
- Expandable to 128GB when I'm ready
- 4 x 500GB NVMe SSD + 1 4TB HDD
- Dedicated 1 Gigabit Connection (Full Duplex)
- I couldn't afford the 10 Gigabit and I doubt I'll need it.
- 100TB Bandwidth Per Month
- Just doesn't allow CDN or excessive streaming.
Software:----------------------------
- Rocky Linux 8 .5
- I could have went with any OS, but this was my personal choice since I was familiar with CentOS and it was recommended for Virtualmin over Ubuntu.
- Virtualmin Pro
- This makes managing the server and domains so much easier. It's free but Pro was only $10. DirectAdmin was another good option.
- Installatron
- Another cheap add-on that makes life easier for just $5. Many of my sites will be WordPress auto-blogs and this does great with them, especially with backups, staging sites and migrations. Plus, it auto-upgrades WordPress, plugins and themes.
- The typical stuff such as:
- Apache - MariaDB - PostgreSQL - PHP-FPM - ProFTPd
- Sendmail via mail relay with Mailgun GitHub Student Plan.
- All of this came default with Virtualmin
- Virtualmin has built-in Git Repositories that I haven't quite mastered yet.
- I was thinking of GitLab instead. Thoughts?
- I'm using multiple free Cloudflare DNS accounts to obfuscate potential PBN detection.
- Is this even required? I just don't want all of my domains to have the same IP.
Backup & Security:------------------------------------------------------------
- Virtualmin Pro offers these Cloud Storage Providers:
- Amazon S3 Buckets
- Rackspace Cloud Files
- Google Cloud Storage
- Dropbox
- Backblaze -- My current choice
- I would have preferred Google Drive since I have an unlimited EDU account.
- I also wish they offered Wasabi or OneDrive.
- Installation does offer Google Drive backups
- This is great for my WordPress sites, but I still need a great backup option for the server itself.
- I've used rclone in the past but there were always issues restoring everything back to normal.
- Virtualmin offers Bacula but I can't get it to install. I don't even know if it's any good.
- I'm considering purchasing Terabyte Drive Image Backup & Restore Suite
- Does anyone have experience with that and is it reliable?
- Complete bundle for $59.99 + 30-day trial
- Seems to have a nice community with plenty of user-scripts
- Chroot jails & Fail2Ban
- I'm having a difficult time configuring this. Could use some guidance.
- I've disabled password logins and require private keys.
- YARA and frequently updated rules
- Vulners Linux Scanner (Free version)
The sites & apps that I run on this server:------------------------------------------------------------
- Several WordPress auto-blogs
- A Crypto P2P Exchange
- A Crypto Live Trading Exchange still in beta until I lockdown the server 110%
- A Link Management App with shortening, tracking, bio-profiles, analytics, etc.
- Top-Sites - A link directory with categories. The sites with the most votes appear at the top of their categories.
- Another link directory, but this one accepts paid promotions for backlinks since it has a DA of 79.
- A Text-To-Speech app that uses Amazon, IBM, etc. I offer this for free to all laryngectomy patients as I am one myself and know how difficult it is to communicate without a voice.
- A site for content creators to sell their content and to earn money from subscribers. Imagine if Instagram & OnlyFans combined.
- An analytics app that I purchased and use on all of my sites (UXwizz \ userTrack). This is just for my use.
- An open-source web app called Dokku that's similar to Heroku. This is just for my use.
- That's it for now and I still don't even use 1/4 of my resources. I doubt I'll add anymore sites to this server though.
So now that you know everything about my server, is there anything you can recommend?I'm open to anything but I'm especially interested in CLI backup software and security.Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I appreciate any suggestions or comments that you have to offer, as this is really my only social life since last July when they removed the cancer and my voice-box.
Peace, Love & Chicken Grease
& Fuck Cancer!
