I will set up, fix, and secure your linux vps server with nginx
Fullstack AI Infrastructure Engineer
About this Gig
Need a Linux server set up properly, fixed, or locked down? I have run Unix and Linux systems from the command line since 1978, and I do this work carefully.
I can help with:
- New VPS setup on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Vultr, AWS, and similar
- Nginx web server and reverse proxy setup
- Free SSL certificates with automatic renewal
- SSH hardening: key logins, no password logins for root
- Firewall setup (UFW or nftables) and Fail2Ban
- Automatic security updates
- Automated backups, with a test restore
- Fixing broken sites, 502 errors, full disks, and services that will not start
Ubuntu and Debian preferred. For other distributions, message me first.
How I work: I check the server before changing anything, keep a record of every change, and make sure you do not get locked out. Every job gets a quality check before delivery, and you get a short handover note with what was done and how to log in.
You keep ownership of your server and accounts. I suggest creating a separate user for me and removing it when we are done.

FAQ
Do you provide the server?
No. You rent the VPS in your own name from any provider. I can suggest one that fits your budget.
Could I get locked out?
I keep a second working login open while changing SSH and firewall settings and test the new setup before closing it.
What happens to my login details?
Use a temporary account for me if you can. When the job is done, remove that account or change the password, and I delete my copy of any details.
Which Linux versions do you support?
Ubuntu and Debian are preferred. Others such as Rocky or AlmaLinux are possible, so message me first.
