Linux server management
Updates, configuration and day-to-day care of your servers — so you stop having to think about them.
Servers ask for very little attention, until they ask for all of it at once. Regular management prevents that: packages and kernels stay current, configuration stays consistent, and drift shows up before it grows into an outage.
What this covers:
- Patch management and kernel updates, scheduled in agreed windows
- Care of nginx, databases, mail and other services
- Users, SSH keys and access rights
- Watching disk space, log rotation and resource usage
- Documentation of the environment, kept in your own repository
You get an environment that behaves predictably. No surprises at the next upgrade because nothing was touched for three years.
