Server Skill

Production Linux server setup, configuration, and tuning — from fresh Droplet to fully hardened, optimised web server.

RULE: Show every command before running. For destructive ops (UFW enable, service restart), always confirm.

Quick Configs

Nginx performance baseline

worker_processes auto;
worker_rlimit_nofile 65535;
events { worker_connections 4096; multi_accept on; }
http {
  sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on;
  keepalive_timeout 65; keepalive_requests 100;
  gzip on; gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript;
  gzip_comp_level 5; gzip_min_length 256;
  server_tokens off;
}

PHP-FPM pool calculation

RAM for PHP = Total RAM - OS (200MB) - MySQL (25%) - Redis (10%)
max_children = RAM for PHP / avg PHP process size (typically 30-50MB)
start_servers = max_children / 4
min_spare_servers = max_children / 4
max_spare_servers = max_children / 2

UFW baseline

ufw default deny incoming
ufw default allow outgoing
ufw allow 22/tcp comment 'SSH'
ufw allow 80/tcp comment 'HTTP'
ufw allow 443/tcp comment 'HTTPS'
ufw limit 22/tcp comment 'SSH rate limit'
ufw --force enable
