I, recently, started running a Lemmy instance. I am, also, new to Linux servers.

At the advisement of some tech acquaintances, I’ve installed UnnattendedUpgrades and Fail2ban.

What would you recommend?

    sure sure it’s just fail2ban doesn’t just apply to SSH and can get your IP banned if you typo on your password on some web service… and from there you can’t SSH into the server to fix the problem ;) ;)
