So I asked this question yesterday to linuxxx and he had some great tips. But I thought there might be some Linux fanatics here who also have some experience working with vps's that you might have somethings to add something 😁

Recently I got asked if I want to help maintain our webservers (they all run Ubuntu 18.04 with standard webserver stuff, nginx, MySQL, php, ssh)

Does anyone know of some tips or share some helpful knowledge regarding maintaining a VPS? / Keeping it healty?

    I'd go with "Everything as code". This is so that WHEN it blows up, it's easy to get it back up and running.

    @brahn I like how you're sure it's eventually going to implode 😅

    @incognito as for what @brahn said, look into puppet or ansible ;)

    @Avyiel Law of computer systems:

    "If it's working someone will be along shortly to break it."

    DevOps/Ops/Whatever addendum to the law of computer systems: "When it breaks it's somehow going to end up being your responsibility to get it working again."

    @linuxxx @incognito @brahn there's Hashicorp's Terraform too to add to the list of automation tools. And then there's Foreman (built by Red Hat) that looks like a Puppet clone, but I've never used it :raised_hands:
