## Features
- **Secure User Management**: Creates a new `sudo` user and disables root SSH access.
- **SSH Hardening**: Configures a custom SSH port, enforces key-based authentication, and applies security best practices.
- **Firewall Configuration**: Sets up UFW with secure defaults and customizable rules.
- **Intrusion Prevention**: Installs and configures **Fail2Ban** to block malicious IPs.
- **Automated Security Updates**: Enables `unattended-upgrades` for automatic security patches.
- **System Stability**: Configures NTP time synchronization with `chrony` and optional swap file setup for low-RAM systems.
- **Remote rsync Backups**: Configures automated `rsync` backups over SSH to any compatible server (e.g., Hetzner Storage Box), with SSH key automation (`sshpass` or manual), cron scheduling, ntfy/Discord notifications, and a customizable exclude file.
- **Backup Testing**: Includes an optional test backup to verify the rsync configuration before scheduling.
- **Tailscale VPN**: Installs Tailscale and connects to the standard Tailscale network (pre-auth key required) or a custom server (URL and key required). Configures optional flags (`--ssh`, `--advertise-exit-node`, `--accept-dns`, `--accept-routes`).
- **Security Auditing**: Optionally runs **Lynis** for system hardening audits and **debsecan** for package vulnerability checks, with results logged for review.
- **Safety First**: Backs up critical configuration files before modification, stored in `/root/setup_harden_backup_*`.
- **Optional Software**: Offers interactive installation of:
- Docker & Docker Compose
- Tailscale (Mesh VPN)
- **Comprehensive Logging**: Logs all actions to `/var/log/setup_harden_debian_ubuntu_*.log`.
- **Automation-Friendly**: Supports `--quiet` mode for automated provisioning.

## Installation & Usage
### Prerequisites
- Fresh installation of a compatible OS.
- Root or `sudo` privileges.
- Internet access for package downloads.
- Minimum 2GB disk space for swap file creation and temporary files.
- For remote backups: An SSH-accessible server (e.g., Hetzner Storage Box) with credentials or SSH key access. For Hetzner, SSH (port 23) is used for rsync.

* Minimum 2GB disk space for swap file creation and temporary files.
* For remote backups: An SSH-accessible server (e.g., Hetzner Storage Box) with credentials or SSH key access. For Hetzner, SSH (port 23) is used for rsync.
* For Tailscale: A pre-auth key from [https://login.tailscale.com/admin](https://login.tailscale.com/admin) (standard, starts with `tskey-auth-`) or from a custom server (e.g., `https://ts.mydomain.cloud`).
### 1. Download the Script
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildplan/setup_harden_server/refs/heads/main/setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
chmod +x setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
```
#### Verify Script Integrity (Optional but Recommended)
After downloading the script, verify its integrity:
### 1\. Download & Prepare Script
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildplan/setup_harden_server/main/setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildplan/setup_harden_server/main/setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh.sha256
sha256sum -c setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh.sha256
# or run
sha256sum setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
# Compare the generated hash, It should match below:
# c4ff92d755b8c862c0a5c885b0a1dfa68832a1a5465e1e9913386374202c6a7a setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
chmod +x setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
```
### 2. Run Interactively (Recommended)
### 2\. Verify Script Integrity (Recommended)
To ensure the script has not been altered, you can verify its SHA256 checksum.
**Option A: Automatic Check**
This command downloads the official checksum file and automatically compares it against your downloaded script.
```
# Download the official checksum file
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildplan/setup_harden_server/main/setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh.sha256
# Run the check (it should output: setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh: OK)
sha256sum -c setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh.sha256
```
**Option B: Manual Check**
```
# Generate the hash of your downloaded script
sha256sum setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
```
Compare the output hash to the one below. They must match exactly.
`c4ff92d755b8c862c0a5c885b0a1dfa68832a1a5465e1e9913386374202c6a7a`
### 3\. Run the Script
**Interactively (Recommended)**
```
sudo ./setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh
```
### 3. Run in Quiet Mode (for Automation)
**Quiet Mode (For Automation)**
```
sudo ./setup_harden_debian_ubuntu.sh --quiet
```
> **Warning**: The script pauses to verify SSH access on the new port before disabling old access methods. **Test the new SSH connection from a separate terminal before proceeding!**
> **Warning**: The script pauses to verify SSH access on the new port before disabling old access methods. **Test the new SSH connection from a separate terminal before proceeding\!**

## Important Notes
- **Run on a fresh system**: Designed for initial provisioning with at least 2GB free disk space.
- **Reboot required**: Ensures kernel and service changes apply cleanly.
- Test in a non-production environment (e.g., staging VM) first.
- Maintain out-of-band console access in case of SSH lockout.
- For Hetzner Storage Box, ensure `~/.ssh/` exists on the remote server: `ssh -p 23 <backup_user@backup_host> "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh"`. Backups use SSH (port 23) for rsync, not SFTP.
- For Tailscale, generate a pre-auth key from https://login.tailscale.com/admin (standard, must start with `tskey-auth-`) or your custom server (any valid key). Ensure UDP 41641 is open for Tailscale traffic.
- For security audits, review `/var/log/setup_harden_security_audit_*.log` for Lynis and debsecan recommendations.
