Starting with Linux can be daunting. We have compiled this quick-start guide to help you navigate the terminal like a pro across different distributions.
Each distribution family uses a different "store" to install software. Use these commands to keep your system updated:
| Distribution | Update Command | Install Command |
|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu/Debian | sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade | sudo apt install [package] |
| RHEL/CentOS/Fedora | sudo dnf update | sudo dnf install [package] |
| Arch Linux | sudo pacman -Syu | sudo pacman -S [package] |
Full Disk Space: If your server stops responding, check your disk first.
Command: df -h (Identify the full partition)
Fix: Use sudo du -sh /var/log/* to find massive log files and truncate them.
Zombie Processes: High CPU usage?
Command: top or htop.
Fix: Press k in htop to kill the rogue process ID (PID).
Service Failures:
Command: sudo systemctl status [service_name]
Fix: Check errors using journalctl -u [service_name] -xe.
Setting up a server is about more than just clicking "Next." We recommend these best practices:
Hardening SSH: Never allow root login. Change your SSH port from 22 to something custom and use SSH Keys instead of passwords. 🔑
Automated Backups: Always use tools like rsync or BorgBackup to create off-site snapshots. 📂
Firewall First: Enable ufw (Ubuntu) or firewalld (RHEL) immediately. Only open the ports you absolutely need (e.g., 80, 443). 🧱
Monitoring: Install Netdata or Prometheus to see real-time health metrics. Don't wait for a crash to find out you're out of RAM. 📊
Stop struggling with configuration errors or security vulnerabilities.
Whether you need a one-time fix or ongoing 24/7 managed support, we are here to help.
