Setup & Management Best Practices
We recommend using a 64-bit Linux distribution such as Ubuntu Server, CentOS, or Debian. For storage, consider using a filesystem like XFS or ext4 with RAID configured for redundancy. Implement regular backups using tools like rsync or Bacula. Utilize monitoring tools like Nagios or Prometheus for proactive system monitoring. Ensure security hardening by applying firewall rules and keeping software up-to-date with the latest kernel updates.
