Some hosts can use fail2ban's nginx-botsearch filter to ban anyone making requests to non-existent files like wp-login.php. There is no reason to request such files naively and anyone found doing so can be banned immediately. In theory I should report them to AbuseIPDB.com, but that will take a little more wiring up.
Ansible Playbook
Ansible playbook for base and initial configuration of the web server hosting my personal websites. After successful execution of this playbook, however, there is still some manual work to import databases, copy site content, etc.
Assumptions
Before you can run this, a few things are assumed:
- You have a clean, minimal Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 10, or Ubuntu 20.04 host up and running
- Python 3 is installed on the remote server (requirement of Ansible)
- You have a user account with password-less SSH access to the machine
- You have sudo privileges on the remote host
- You have created a
hostsfile with something like:
[web]
web01
Use
Once you've satisfied the the above assumptions, you can execute:
$ ansible-playbook web.yml
Todo
