FAQ
What operating systems do you support?
I support Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and CentOS. If you're using another Linux distribution, feel free to contact me before ordering.
What access do you need to complete the work?
I will need SSH access with sudo or root privileges to your server. If your server is hosted with AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Hetzner, OVH, or another provider, I may also require temporary access to your hosting control panel if necessary.
Can you secure an existing server instead of setting up a new one?
Yes. I can harden and optimize existing Linux servers by configuring SSH security, firewalls, Fail2Ban, updates, and other security best practices.
Do you install Docker?
Yes. Docker installation and basic Docker Compose configuration are included in the Standard and Premium packages.
Will my data be safe?
Absolutely. I treat all client data as confidential and only perform the work required for your project. I never retain credentials after the order is completed.
Do you provide support after delivery?
Yes. I'll answer any questions related to the completed work and help ensure everything is working as expected after delivery.
Can you install a web server and database?
Yes. I can install and configure Apache or Nginx, along with MySQL or MariaDB, depending on the package you choose.
What if I'm not sure which package I need?
No problem! Send me a message before ordering with your requirements, and I'll recommend the most suitable package. If your project requires something outside the listed packages, I can also create a custom offer.
