update: 2020: last time checked fail2ban was INCOMPATIBLE with nftables (next version of iptables) so either one uninstalls nftables and installs “pure” iptables fail2ban might not do what is expected. might also be interesting: automatically banning ssh bruteforce via cron […]

(512MB RAM was “enogh RAM” for a webserver in those days X-D) sudden spikes of (botnet) traffic might deplete your RAM via […]

In General: while a update/upgrade between major releases in theory is always “possible” – i realized it comes with a lot of problems. A complete reinstall “from scratch” is probably always the cleaner approach. apt-get dist-upgrade; # fails miserably because […]
