Hi, and hello to the community. Since 'm new as well.
Arrive here cuz all the stuff I'm doing now, and see this post.
Indeed I can put my grain of sand into all this.
1
I made a installation script for servers. It works on Centos so far. Using a custom iso of kickstart.
It may sound simple but there's a lot of missing data related to the automatic server installation.
Among other things the script does:
0- Make installation with vnc for remote supervision if needed
1- Assign default static ip address
2- Assign default root password, and ssh
3- Do a clean core server installation,without all core junk.
3- Create a custom partition schema, detecting multiple disk, asking if want to use raid.
4- depending on disk space, selection, ask for services as webserver, ftp or database
5- In disk partition schema create separate areas, with specific fstab flags for it. Assign spaces based on free percentages and the amount services selected.
6- A few other things by default like install webmin, harden basic hardware access/sysctl/modprobe blacklist stuff, and others.
The basic concept is, install a server as fast as possible with basic security to end up with a secure installation , ready to go online, and start customize other services (samba, cache, email, proxy, dns, etc...). Ideal for testing labs, virtual (including vmware installation) or production servers, where start working is required as soon as possible.
Available in centos 7, testing centos 8.

Database optimization MariaDB/MySQL.
There's a lot of scripts who run and give plenty information about what to do, but in real life, nobody knows if put more numbers or less, based on their hardware capacity, usage.
I made a custom my.cnf who I adapt based on needs. In it there's more than needs to regular usage, plus more.
3
Basic harden system for CentOS
Including core modules, linux kernel, network, firewall, physical access to hardware protection, dos & ddos basic protection.
4
Several basic services installation and requirement for 2020.
Including installation, security, users, tweak, improvements, permits, dependencies (our endless pain), etc... for MariaDB + tweak, PureFTP (using databases for auth users), webservers (Apache + cache), Samba share, remote admin (Webmin), and few others.
That's it. It may looks like not much, but is what I have.
How about someone doing a (growing) guide to tech?
There are so many "frameworks" touted around today that it's bewildering; what do they all do? Someone mentioned Docker but there are a heap more. Off the top of my head, there's composer, lavarel, ansible, heck the list goes on.
Any takers?
In stasis until the shitposting stops/abates.
Than=compare;then=sequence:brought=bring;bought=buy:staffs=pile of sticks:informations/infos=no plural. It wisnae me! A big boy done it and ran away. || NVMe2G for life! until death (the end is nigh).

If something looks missing, welcome ask.

I posted three how-to articles on proxy servers in the TECHNICAL section.

How about a simplified guideline or checklist to see if a host offering services is a scam-host?
From what I see on LET, most people do not know the tell-tale signs of a scam host (including me apparently since I got scammed twice).
Most of you here have more experience and knowledge that you can contribute to creating a checklist that will be true for most cases.
