Hardened Linux Repository in 10 minutes - Python Script

Post by TDG » 1 person likes this post

Hi, I created few hardened Linux repositories using this method (Under 10 mins) on a bare minimums Ubuntu install & It's working fine

Python script to quickly setup an immutable repository in 10 minutes
https://github.com/tdewin/veeamhubrepo

You can do this the normal way which will take some time. This says experimental Python script to quickly setup an immutable repository but works very well

Any Pros/Cons of this method ?

Cheers :mrgreen:

Hi TDG

I never used it. But I heard good feedback from other customers.
Please note, we released a new hardening script two weeks ago. Please have a look.

We also have released an ISO (early access) the deployment of a hardened repository. This Iso includes our hardening script:

Hi Fabian K

This did not work for some reason Installable .ISO but I manually installed Ubuntu core, did the patching/harden, Format 2nd drive XFS, set permission etc.. & it worked
(Just like Rick's post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2SFMixp92g)

Even though this script is 2 years old it works every time https://github.com/tdewin/veeamhubrepo

I'm sure Veeam will update the Installable .ISO & hopefully we will have stable solution so we can deploy immutable harden reposerty in 10 mins :mrgreen:

Keep up the good work
