📖 Starting with Linux Commands

Common Management Commands

Fixing Common Issues

• Disk Space Full: Use du -sh /* to find large directories and df -h to see mount points.

• Permission Denied: Check ownership with ls -l and adjust with chown or chmod.

• Service Won't Start: Always check the syntax of the config file (e.g., nginx -t or apachectl configtest).

💡 Tips for a Successful Server Setup

• Minimize the Footprint: Only install the packages you absolutely need to reduce the attack surface.

• SSH Key Auth Only: Disable password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config immediately.

• Automate Documentation: Use a "Runbook" or Git-based documentation to track every change made to the server.

• Test Backups: A backup is only a backup if you have successfully performed a test restoration this month.
