Security is not optional on public servers. I can:

• Harden SSH (keys, disable root login, anti-bruteforce, ports)
• Configure firewalls and network rules
• Set up Fail2ban or similar tools for SSH/web login protection
• Apply and automate security updates
• Configure sudo policies, audit logging, and lock down unnecessary services
• Enable full-disk or data-at-rest encryption where appropriate

Optional security reviews and periodic audits are also available.

To make your infrastructure repeatable and reliable:

• Write Ansible playbooks to automate server setup
• Build simple but effective CI/CD pipelines using:
  • GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or other tools
• Implement zero-downtime or low-downtime deployments
• Containerization with Docker / docker-compose / Podman
• Optional: lightweight Kubernetes (K3s, MicroK8s) for advanced use cases

For clients who need long-term stability, I offer:

• Monitoring setup (from simple tools to Prometheus + Grafana)
• Disk, CPU, RAM, network, service uptime checks
• Log rotation, cleanup and retention
• Automatic system updates and kernel upgrades (with planning)
• Scheduled health checks and reports

These can be packaged as monthly maintenance plans customized to your needs.

If something is broken, I can help diagnose and fix:

• Server not booting, stuck after updates, GRUB issues
• High load, slow performance, memory leaks

• Database connection problems, slow queries, lockups
• Network/firewall misconfigurations
• Broken packages, repository conflicts, dependency hell

Emergency / priority support can be arranged depending on urgency and availability.

1. Initial Contact:
   You describe your problem or project (server specs, provider, goal).

2. Assessment & Quote:
   I review requirements, ask any essential questions, and provide:

   • Estimated time/complexity
   • Fixed price or hourly rate options

3. Access & Work Session:

   • Preferred: SSH access with a non-root user (sudo).
   • Alternatively: supervised remote session using TeamViewer/AnyDesk.
   • You can change all passwords after work is complete.

4. Verification & Handover:
   We test everything together (services running, performance, security basics), and I provide notes or documentation on what was done.
