I design and set up secure, production-ready self-hosted environments for web applications and SaaS products.

The engagement can start from an empty Linux server or an existing environment that needs to be cleaned up, hardened, or reorganized.

I can help with:

Infrastructure and deployment strategy

Linux server setup and administration

SSH, users, permissions, and basic server hardening

Firewall and network exposure configuration

Docker-based application deployment

Reverse proxy setup with Nginx or Traefik

Domain, TLS/HTTPS, and certificate configuration

Environment and secrets organization

Self-hosted deployment platforms when appropriate

Basic monitoring, backups, and operational safeguards

Optional CI/CD pipeline setup for automated deployments

I focus on keeping the architecture understandable, maintainable, and appropriate for the size of the product rather than introducing unnecessary infrastructure complexity.

The final scope can range from a focused server setup to a complete production environment with an automated deployment workflow.
