Sometimes 72 hours to propagate to the TLD"s
I need someone to SSH in and report back here what I need to do and why.
I've read all over the place but since I don't grasp Linux as whole yet I'm lost most of the time when reading about the security.
You may also want to check out this guide to learn how to enable fail2ban to reduce the effectiveness of brute force attacks.
Did you read this? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-14-04
And this: https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...ecommended-steps-for-new-ubuntu-14-04-servers
After that you have SSH access setup, a firewall and an extra guard against attacks. Fsck it, I'll paste that link for you as well just in case: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-ssh-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04
No make sure you code your apps securely. Nothing on that server is going to help you if you use filepaths in your URLs or not check header tokens etc.
What more do you want?!
Chapter two
Scripts / Automation/?
How does one go about to deploy websites fast.
Ie it took quite a few steps to create a account with a virtual block.
Surely there must be an easier way so that I can just do:
SSH
$ create account mydomain.co.za
Then it will end up as / var /www /mydomain/ html
if that makes sense?
I'd like all accounts to be 8 characters
Ansible
Also ansible is paid for so why use that over WHM.
Because maybe you should do your research and see what Ansible actually offers you. Instead of making asinine statements. You asked for an automated way, I provided you a tool. Furthermore there is an OSS version of Ansible. Or you could use chef.
bash
ansible
chef
puppet?
Start with a bash script ..
If dns-nameservers X.X.X.X does not exist in the file can I add it?
I am starting to feel this might be due to some funny DNS issue so would like to use google's
