Project Goal To conduct a comprehensive audit of two Ubuntu VPS servers (RapidPM & OnlyOffice) to identify issues related to performance, stability, security, and resource utilization. The deliverable is a report with actionable recommendations and an estimated implementation plan.
2. Servers for Audit: Server 1: WebApp Server OS: Ubuntu Server Key Technologies:Python, MySQL, Redis, Web Server (Nginx), Application Runtime (e.g., Gunicorn/UWSGI). Purpose: Hosts a critical web application. Server 2: OnlyOffice Server OS:Ubuntu Server Key Technologies: OnlyOffice Document Server, Nginx, Docker. Purpose: Provides document editing capabilities.
3. Scope of Work (Deliverables):
The system administrator will provide:
3.1. Server Analysis & Issue Identification: Comprehensive review of OS health (updates, logs, services). Detailed resource utilization analysis (CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Network) using Netdata data. In-depth disk usage analysis (identifying large files/folders). Security posture review (firewall, SSH, user accounts, basic vulnerability checks). Performance and configuration analysis for primary applications (Python app, MySQL, Redis on RapidPM; OnlyOffice components). Assessment of existing backup strategies. 3.2. Recommendation Report: Summary of all findings, categorized by server and issue type. Each finding will include: description, potential impact, severity, and clear recommendation. 3.3. Action Plan with Estimates: Prioritized task list with estimated time (hours/days) for each, recommended execution order, potential downtime/risks, and suggestions for ongoing maintenance.
4. Access to be Provided: Netdata Cloud: Viewer-role access to the Netdata Cloud Space for real-time and historical performance data. SSH Access (Restricted): If deemed absolutely necessary for deeper diagnostics not available via Netdata, a dedicated user account with a restricted shell (`rbash`/`rssh`) will be provided. All SSH activity will be logged. Alternatively, specific command outputs can be provided by the client if direct SSH is not preferred.
5. Timeline: To be mutually agreed upon following the administrator's review of this brief. (e.g., X business days for analysis and draft report).
6. Communication: Regular updates and agreed-upon communication channels (e.g., google chat & meet).
7. Budget: As per quote
8. Desired Outcome: A clear understanding of server health, a prioritized roadmap for improvements, and enhanced stability, performance, and security.
