  15. vps-harden

    Idempotent VPS hardening for Ubuntu — SSH, firewall, fail2ban, kernel tuning, auditd, SOPS secrets, and optional AI agent workspace security. Dry-run first, lockout protection built in. (by ranjith-src)

    Project mention: Show HN: VPS-Harden, an Idempotent Bash Script to Harden Ubuntu VPS – OpenClaw | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-16

    Zero dependencies — single Bash file, no Python, no Ansible, no agents. curl | bash to install, sudo vps-harden to run.

    The lockout protection was the hardest part to get right. The script disables password auth and restricts SSH to a single user, so if the key deployment or AllowUsers config is wrong, you're locked out.

    It validates everything before reloading sshd, and if validation fails, it removes the config and rolls back.

    Your existing session stays alive throughout.

    Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ranjith-src/vps-harden/mai... | bash

    Project mention: I Built Two Ollama Tools I Don't Actually Need Yet | dev.to | 2026-04-23

    Second: the workflow needed a real test. The research → build plan → security review → dev agent → security audit → writer agent pipeline is what I'm developing inside homelab-agent — with the goal of shipping it as a proper framework in the platform homelab-agent is building toward. Running the workflow against a real, non-trivial project — something with actual security considerations, a competitive landscape to map, and multiple phases of implementation — was the validation I needed. Both tools passed.

    Project mention: AIMusubi – Local-First Agentic Network Automation for Cisco, Arista, and VyOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-25
