@elena @patpro I miss the good old days where howtos were commonly written. Personally, I love the format and clarity of the guide... for a "newbie guide", it is pretty high standard.
I would suggest a future update with some security tips: like adding fail2ban to your web server configuration (and lookups with 400 error codes). If you need the scripts and the why-hows, feel free to drop a line: happy to share.
