Hi,

I've been talking on irc about this and I want to share it with you.

It would be really useful for community sysadmins to have a guide of
good practices when setting up a new server. This way we all can learn
for Mozilla IT about what you do and how to apply it to our community
servers.

Apache tweaking, iptables, backups policies... or any configuration is
made in a new mozilla server would help.

mburns told me that there are some presentation slides they have
floating around internally that have some of the basic best practices
they perform on servers and that he could write that up as a blog or
wiki page for community IT reference if it would be helpful.

Thanks!

Apologies - that talk/discussion never happened.

Hi!

At least could we have some links about what you usually do? It does not
have to be a talk, just some info.

We are now providing hosting for Mozilla Colombia in the dedicated Mozilla
Hispano server, and it will be awesome to have some tips about security (my
main concern) and other performance issues we could have not thought about.

Thanks!

Hello!
In the past weeks we've been drafting a presentation that addresses exactly this topic.
I will wrap a blog post around it next week, stay tuned :)

Hi Dumitru,

This is awesome - but perhaps it should be a wiki page so it can be
enhanced in the future? People might like to add specific commands, or
turn it into a checklist, or any number of other enhancements.
