Setup & Management Best Practices
We recommend using a 64-bit Linux distribution such as Ubuntu Server, CentOS, or Debian. Configure RAID 1 for data redundancy. Implement regular backups using tools like rsync or Bacula. Utilize monitoring tools such as Nagios or Prometheus to track server performance and health. Harden security with a firewall and intrusion detection system. Keep the kernel updated for security patches and performance improvements.
