Kategorie:Server
This article details the standard server configuration for systems classified under the "Kategorie:Server" designation on this wiki. It is intended as a guide for new administrators and those seeking to understand the baseline infrastructure. This configuration aims for stability, performance, and scalability. Please consult the System Administration Policy before making any changes. All servers within this category must adhere to these guidelines.
Overview
Servers categorized under "Kategorie:Server" generally support mission-critical applications and services. They are typically deployed in a clustered environment to ensure high availability. This documentation covers hardware specifications, operating system details, software stacks, and important configuration notes. Understanding the Networking Infrastructure is also crucial for successful server management. Remember to always follow the Security Best Practices when working with these systems.
Hardware Specifications
The following table outlines the minimum and recommended hardware specifications for servers within this category.
| Component | Minimum Specification | Recommended Specification |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 (or AMD equivalent) | Intel Xeon Gold 6248R (or AMD equivalent) |
| RAM | 64 GB DDR4 ECC | 128 GB DDR4 ECC |
| Storage (OS) | 500 GB SSD | 1 TB NVMe SSD |
| Storage (Data) | 2 TB HDD (RAID 1) | 4 TB HDD (RAID 10) or SSD Array |
| Network Interface | 1 Gbps Ethernet | 10 Gbps Ethernet |
| Power Supply | 750W Redundant | 1000W Redundant |
These specifications are subject to change based on the specific application requirements. Always refer to the Application Requirements Document before provisioning new servers. Consider using a Hardware Asset Management System to track server inventory.
Operating System and Software Stack
All servers in this category utilize a hardened Linux distribution. Currently, CentOS 7 is the standard, although migration to Rocky Linux is planned. The software stack is carefully curated to provide a stable and secure environment. See the Software Licensing Guide for details.
| Software | Version | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | CentOS 7 | Base Operating System |
| Web Server | Apache 2.4 | Serving dynamic content |
| Database Server | MariaDB 10.5 | Data storage and retrieval |
| PHP | 7.4 | Server-side scripting |
| SSH Server | OpenSSH 7.6 | Secure remote access |
| Firewall | Firewalld | Network security |
| Intrusion Detection System | Fail2ban | Security monitoring and blocking |
Regular Security Updates are critical. Automated patching is implemented using Ansible for consistent configuration management. Consult the Monitoring Dashboard for real-time system performance.
Configuration Details
Specific configuration settings are vital for maintaining the integrity and performance of the servers. These settings are managed through centralized configuration management tools. All changes must be documented in the Change Management System.
| Configuration Item | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default SSH Port | 2222 | Non-standard port for enhanced security. |
| Firewall Rules | Restrictive by default, allowing only necessary ports. See Firewall Configuration. | |
| SELinux | Enforcing | Mandatory access control for enhanced security. |
| Log Rotation | 7 days | Logs are rotated weekly to prevent disk space exhaustion. |
| System Time Synchronization | NTP | Servers synchronize time using Network Time Protocol. See Time Synchronization. |
| Root Access | Disabled via SSH | Direct root login via SSH is disabled for security reasons. Use sudo. |
Monitoring and Maintenance
Continuous monitoring is essential. Servers are monitored using Nagios and Grafana for performance metrics and availability. Regular maintenance tasks, such as disk space cleanup and log analysis, are scheduled and automated. Refer to the Disaster Recovery Plan in case of unforeseen issues. The Backup Strategy details how data is protected.
