New Server Setup

This repo is going to be used for the purpose of easily setting up a server, and having it secure. What these scripts do:

• Update the server
• Install and set up Automatic Updates for Security updates
• Set Timezone**
• Set Hostname/Machine name
• Create a Limited User and sets their password
• Installs Firewalld or UFW, then configures it to open ports associated to SSH and LISH
• Finally Reboots the system **To assign the correct Timezone, here is a Gist with the all Timezones: https://gist.github.com/alejzeis/ad5827eb14b5c22109ba652a1a267af5

Getting The Script

Use wget to download the script to your server. You will to get the raw.githubusercontent.com URL for the script you want to use then use the following command: wget {raw.githubusercontent.com url of the setup script}

Before Running The Script

Before you can run the scripts properly, you will need to set a couple of variables. Those being Username, Hostname/Machine's Name, and Timezone with the variables:
