I will harden your linux server and deliver a written security report
Linux Security Engineer , Hardening, Docker, Proxmox
About this Gig
Getting an app running is the easy half. The half that matters is what happens at 3am when the disk fills, a container dies, or the database is gone and there is no backup.
I deploy your application as a production Docker Compose stack: reverse proxy with automatic TLS, health checks, container auto-restart, and sane resource limits. Not a tutorial copy-paste, a setup built for the machine it runs on.
From Standard up, I add automated database and volume backups on a schedule, with off-site copies. Then I run the restore in front of you, because a backup nobody has tested is not a backup.
Premium covers multi-service stacks with monitoring and alerting on downtime, disk and memory, plus a written runbook: how to deploy, roll back, restore, and read the logs when something breaks.
You get the source code. The compose files, scripts and configuration are yours, documented, so you are not dependent on me afterwards.
I run my own production Linux infrastructure on Hetzner and Proxmox, and I hold the TryHackMe PT1 certification.
Tell me what you are running and I will tell you what I would set up.

FAQ
What do you need from me to start?
SSH access with sudo to the target server, your application source or image, and any environment variables and secrets. If you do not have a server yet, tell me the provider and I will tell you what size to get before you spend anything.
Will you take my app down while you work?
No. I build the new stack alongside what is running and switch over only once it works. If a cutover needs a few seconds of downtime, I schedule it with you instead of deciding on my own.
Do I get the files, or am I locked in?
You get everything: compose files, scripts, configuration, all documented. It runs without me. I would rather you come back because the work was good than because you have no choice.
Are the backups actually tested?
Yes, from Standard up. I run a full restore in front of you before delivery, because an untested backup is just a file that makes you feel safe. You also get the restore procedure written down.
What if my app does not fit the packages?
Message me before ordering with your stack and what you need. If it is bigger than Premium I will quote a custom offer, and if it is not something I can do well I will tell you that instead of taking the order.
