This project contains a set of bash scripts that can be used to secure a new Linux server. The scripts are broken into parts:
- Configuration
- Server setup
Before you can use secure your server, you need to run the configuration script. This script is named configure.sh. This script will ask you a variety of questions related to your server including:
- IP Address
- Alert email
- SMTP server
- SMTP port
- SMTP username
- SMTP password
- SMTP encryption (if any)
- Slack Webhook URL
- Pushover application and user keys
After the script has asked all the questions, it will output all of the necessary configuration files that the server setup scripts will use. These will be placed in the output directory.
After you run the configure script, you can run the server setup script. This script is named setup-new-server.sh. This script will prompt you for the password for the ordinary user account that is created on the server and then it will upload all of the files from the output directory to the server and execute the install script on the server.
