Is there a tutorial on hardening server?

Hi! We don't have a specific procedural guide on that (thanks for the idea by the way) but we have a more conceptual article that could be of help: 7 Security Measures to Protect your Servers.

Seriously, for a long while, I was just Googling "thing I need to figure out DigitalOcean docs".

They KIND of do, depending on what server OS you want to use.

I was focusing on CentOS servers since it's the downstream of RHEL. They had great guides for getting a server stood up and usable, and then a follow up guide on how to start locking it down.

Just know that the link you bookmarked is for CentOS and the article we're commenting on is Ubuntu.
