Linux Server Administration
Your infrastructure runs quietly, without surprises and without unexpected bills. You focus on your business while I make sure everything works.
A well-administered Linux server can run for years with minimal operating costs. The key lies in correct initial configuration, regular updates and proactive monitoring. That is exactly what I provide.
What this service includes
Installation and initial configuration. Deploying Linux servers (Debian, Ubuntu LTS, Rocky, AlmaLinux) following security best practices from day one. Sensible partitioning, minimal service configuration and complete documentation.
Preventive maintenance. Automatic security updates, disk-space monitoring, log rotation, regular health checks. The server stays healthy without your intervention.
Service management. Configuration and maintenance of the services your business needs: web servers (Nginx, Apache), mail (Postfix, Dovecot), databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB), storage (Samba, Nextcloud), DNS, VPN and more.
24/7 remote support. Secure SSH connection for quick intervention when an issue arises. Most problems are resolved within minutes.
Living documentation. Everything we do is documented: configurations, credentials (in a secure password manager), procedures. If you hire another technician tomorrow, they will find everything they need.
Periodic reports. Monthly summary of the state of your infrastructure: incidents resolved, updates applied, recommendations. No surprises.
Who is this service for
Businesses that already run Linux servers and do not have in-house technical staff. Also businesses wanting to migrate from Windows Server to Linux to reduce licensing costs or improve stability.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with cloud or physical servers?
Both. I administer dedicated servers, VPS (Hetzner, OVH, DigitalOcean), on-premise infrastructure and hybrid environments.
Which Linux distributions do you use?
Primarily Debian and Ubuntu LTS because of their stability and long support cycles. For specific enterprise environments, Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux (CentOS replacements) as well.
How is 24/7 support arranged?
Through a monthly maintenance contract with a defined SLA: guaranteed response time based on criticality. The number of monthly interventions and the price are tailored to your case.
Do I need to replace my current hardware?
Probably not. Linux runs well even on modest hardware. After the initial review, I will tell you whether your current server is suitable or whether renewal is advisable.
