Intro:
This how to assumes your looking to setup a Linux Server.
Manage Linux Servers, build Linux Servers, not a GUI Linux Desktop.
For use without a monitor, keyboard or mouse. ( often called headless when there is no monitor )
After setup completes you will be remotely managing it, and will not have a need for the monitor and keyboard once
you have finished the initial setup. This how-to also assumes you are connected to the internet, and have at least (2) computers
on the same network. It also assumes you will have at least (2) hard-drives in the server, one for the O.S. and one for the data.
Only one network card is needed until the optional \ advanced section.
Due to upgrades and new versions some links may no longer be available,
if you run into this just go to debian.org or webmin.com and find the newer link.
This how-to covers everything from the most basic setup, to a full blown dedicated server. You can choose how far to go in
this step by step how-to, even setting your Linux box up as your Router, File Server, Firewall, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP \ SFTP, Virtual Machine Server \ Hypervisor \ ProxMox, Backup solution, and much more...
*Note, if your planning a FTP or SFTP server (Page 3), see this disclaimer before you begin
No table-of-contents, it is assumed you will follow this how-to, step by step, as each page builds off the previous ones.
If you skip a page, you could miss an installer or file called for later in the how-to. I hope you will find this how-to helpful.
