How do you document your (whole) setup ? Looking for ideas.
To ensure SSH and other security related things are configured correctly, you can take a look at DevSec which helps you to apply proven security configuration principles. Also there is guides like "Secure Secure Shell" which can help you to better understand what you can do to increase the security of your servers (this one is from 2015 but many aspects are still relevant).
