### Essential Packages
|
||||
|
||||
Install `sudo` and `docker-ce` first. This is necessary because the subsequent user setup relies on the `docker` group and `sudo` configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Install Sudo**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# As root:
|
||||
apt update && apt install sudo -y
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Install Docker**
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the [Official Docker Installation Guide for Debian](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/) to install the latest Docker Engine.
|
||||
|
||||
### System User & Privileges

The `adam` user handles all administrative tasks. SSH-key authentication and passwordless `sudo` via the `wheel` group minimize friction while maintaining security.

### SSH Hardening & Key Management
|
||||
### Swap Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Configure a swap file to ensure system stability during memory-intensive operations.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# As root:
|
||||
# Create a 2GB swap file (adjust size as needed)
|
||||
fallocate -l 2G /swap
|
||||
chmod 600 /swap
|
||||
mkswap /swap
|
||||
swapon /swap
|
||||
|
||||
# Make it permanent
|
||||
echo '/swap none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH Access & Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
Passwords are disabled. Access is strictly via SSH keys.
|
||||
|
||||
**Secure SSH Directory**
|
||||
**Authorize Operator Key**
|
||||
|
||||
Set strict permissions immediately to prevent the SSH daemon from rejecting the keys.
|
||||
Import your local public key to the `adam` user.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Setup directories as root for the adam user
|
||||
# As root:
|

**Operator Side Access**
|
||||
|
||||
Configure your local machine for easy access to the host.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# ~/.ssh/config on operator side
