Care to explain your purpose of purchasing a server?
what were your plans on using your server? usually im installing nginx, virtualmin or webmin depending on my needs. then doing postfix installs etc etc.
What were you wanting to use your server for?
I just bought it to playing around.. to gain experience before I seriously move to dedi..
1) secure your server

2) think once again why you ordered server in first place, if you still have no answer to that question, i would suggest that you cancel server
I am love to install virtualmin.. but what is the 1st step.. I install ubuntu with ssh access on the box.. is it right??
Install kloxo-mr xD a vpn too, maybe some voice stuff or games?
LowEndCollectors disease now start infecting dedis....
To install virtualmin;
1) login to your server via ssh
2) wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
3) sh install.sh
I dont have specific reason I bought it.. I just want to learn how to manage dedi..just to gain experiences.. is it wrong??
Works great with a fresh ubuntu/linux install just follow the steps here http://www.virtualmin.com/download.html
controlling multiple domains from a newbie side of things its good, i like the cluster features webmin has as well.
ok, you have reason. to learn how to manage dedi...
now start with security first, that is my suggestion.
I dont really like kloxo.. maybe because the interface is little messed..
Just like that??
virtualmin is my 1st panel used when I bought my 1st vps.. I still love to use it until now.. if the installation on dedi is same like on vps, then I got no problem
Im reading it now.. thanks
hey, if I installed a software that need to reboot, can I use shutdown -r 0 via ssh???
just type reboot
Type
or
If you want learn. Don't use any panel. For starter, study csf firewall configuration to harden your server. Close all unused port.
can I know, is it like a vps, I mean, the commands, how to navigate around, is it same like a vps?? I asked before on this forum and many said about complex things, proxmox, virtualization and more complex things.. I used csf before on my vps.. is it same on dedi?
Ports that aren't used aren't open, so you can't close them
I second your suggestion of no panel though....
2.5) chmod 755 install.sh
'File not Found'
2.5) chmod 755 install.sh
why
Sorry i have misstyped extension. It should be .sh. i will edit post above
Not needed when you run it with sh, you only need to chmod when you execute any shell script as ./script_name
By default, there'll some unused port that will be open by csf.
Not sure. But usually i will only open the port that i use.
Yes, it is the same.
I always thought csf was an interface to iptables. Didn't know it listened on ports.
Yeah csf is the easier way to manage iptables.
Once you get it the way you want, if you have no other use. Donate cycles to the boinc project. Setting boinc-client up, monitoring and making it work can provide some useful Linux experience.
