    This is no longer a megathread, therefore it does not benefit of special rules either.

    from a man who lost 80% of his ssh crednetials today bcuz i refuse to pay for termius pro to save my vault

    regards

    I don't think termius is that expensive that you need split it into 12 payments o.O

    on side note: amazing domain, .ai, for loan service.

    Not here.

    There are some lifetime offers on Stacksocial though. With coupon TAKE20 you can reduce the price by 20%.

    unfortunately no dedicated

    how about 10k for a reasonable machine? @crunchbits

    So quick overview of my main ansible playbook, it was written with the help of duckduckgo and a lot of deepseek

    do not use ansible's docs, they fucking suck. Just find anything else if you dont want to use AI

    This is what my main setup script does in this order

    1. Create a new user "x" ,
      1. give them passwordless sudo access
      2. add pubkey to new user [it grabs the pubkey from a variable file in the same directory]
    2. Create a new group "y" and add user "x" to it
      1. Limit ssh access to group 'y'
      2. limit sudo and su access to to group 'y'
    3. backup current sshconfig file and put the new file sshconfig file
      1. basically i have my own hardened sshconfig file that follows best practices for SSH servers, I just upload to every new server, it has the user and group whitelisted already baked in
    4. Create a password for root user
      1. this is for VNC and disaster recovery, not for ssh. Root cannot SSH at all.
    5. install and setup fail2ban
      1. create a custom ssh jail for port Z
    6. install and setup ufw
      1. allow custom ssh port (Z) and block everything else
    7. setup uninterrupted updates
      1. and restarts (uninterrupted restarts are a pain but they are a necessary part of security, as I'm told)
    8. setup automatic ntp with good reliable privacy respecting servers
      1. fix the time zone and use the only sane option: UTC
    9. Restarts ssh, ntp, fail2ban, ufw etc

    This script includes 2 files:

    • a hosts file
      1. this basically tells ansible on which server to apply the script
    • a variable file that contains:
      1. ssh port
      1. ssh, su, sudo group name
      1. username
      1. path to the sshconfig file

    My other scripts include a script to setup nodeexporter for grafana monitoring, and another one for some minor security and privacy updates that are boring af. I'm working on a script to automate beszel thanks to @Smigit mentioning it yesterday.

    Here's hoping I inspire you guys to learn it and save yourself the trouble of manually setting up :D

    For you my lovely @plumberg , my lovely @JohnFilch123, and the traitor @nghialele

    I'm also slowly working on a script that benchmarks all my servers every 12 hours and adds the information to grafana, but let's not tell any hosts I am currently with that :D

    Love you muh lovely @wadhah

    That's superbly thorough and organized. I wish I would have that discipline in practice 😕

    I am motivated to take one step forward into secure idling...
