Server quickstart guide

This quickstart requires that you have an Alpine Linux server running with a domain name pointed to it. I’m currently using Linode as my host since they support Alpine Linux nicely.

TIP: During the ufw portion to enable the firewall I recommend only allowing your IP address or your ISP’s IP address range which you can find on whois lookups at the top. For example, replace 192.230.176.0/20 with your IP or your ISP’s IP range.

ufw allow from 192.230.176.0/20 proto tcp to any port 22

I allow my local ISP’s range because I have a DHCP lease from them and I get tired of logging into my server from my hosting provider’s UI to update it. It’s good enough security and much better than nothing!

I don’t recommend running this script without downloading and modifying it for your needs but you can if you want!
