Context
A system-administration project focused on virtualization and secure server configuration. The work covers a command-line Debian server, firewall rules, password policies, access control, monitoring, and LVM partitioning.
My responsibility
Built and validated through the 1337 / 42 project curriculum, with direct responsibility for implementation, debugging, testing, and evaluation requirements.
System scheme
Engineering scheme
Hardened virtual server setup
A minimal Debian virtual machine is configured through explicit storage, identity, network, privilege, and monitoring policies.
- 01
Virtual machine
Provision the required hypervisor and base Debian system.
- 02
LVM storage
Create the required logical-volume partition structure.
- 03
Identity policy
Configure users, groups, passwords, and privilege boundaries.
- 04
SSH and firewall
Restrict network access and expose only approved traffic.
- 05
System hardening
Apply sudo logging and mandatory access-control policy.
- 06
Monitoring script
Broadcast system health and resource information on schedule.
Implementation breakdown
- 01
System design
Debian Linux utilizing Logical Volume Manager (LVM) for encrypted block storage partitioning, secured via Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) and AppArmor.
Technical scope
Implementation details
- ✓Restricted SSH access and firewall configuration.
- ✓Strict Sudoers privilege administration and logging.
- ✓Automated bash scripts providing live active server monitoring broadcasts.
Engineering constraints
- →Operating strictly via the UNIX Command Line without display servers.
- →Designing and explaining a structured LVM partition scheme.
