Post Install
Your install is complete and your site works. Great! Now what? As a responsible sysadmin you will need to perform some maintenance and post install procedures.
- Occasionally update your server using
aptitude update aptitude safe-upgrade
- Set up cronjobs to backup your databases and sites. The backup.sh script can do this for you. Remember to download and keep copies of your sites locally.
- Enable/Disable phpMyAdmin and AWstats from being publicly accessible. This is to prevent brute force attacks on your server. Enable only when you need them.
- Consider tweaking configurations to better utilize the amount of memory available to your server. Read the readme for respective web stacks for more information on config files to edit.
- Install Fail2Ban to protect your server from brute force SSH login attempts.
aptitude install fail2ban
- Install DDOS Deflate script to mitigate denial of service attacks. Refer herehttp://deflate.medialayer.com/
- You may also refer to the tutorials section for other further tweaks.
