5 Basic Things you need to know about managing a Linux server

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Phusion Passenger

    A fast and robust web server and application server for Ruby, Python and Node.js

  • PHP is great, but not for all of us. What about running Node.js or Python apps? You might be tempted to use proxy_pass but it won't handle the app startup and crashes for us. Luckily we have a better option: Phusion Passenger.

  • Fail2Ban

    Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors

  • If you have some memory and computation to spare, it might be a good idea to install software that prevents brute force attacks like Fail2Ban, or maybe just don't enable password-based login in SSH and disable database remote control when you don't need it.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
