Server Skill
Production Linux server setup, configuration, and tuning — from fresh Droplet to fully hardened, optimised web server.
RULE: Show every command before running. For destructive ops (UFW enable, service restart), always confirm.
🚧 Status: Stub — implementation pending
This reference skill has the structure but the snippet content is still being filled in
(you'll see <!-- TODO --> placeholders below). It activates and tells Claude the topic
exists, but won't yield deep snippets yet.
Want to help? Pick any TODO, write the snippet, open a PR. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
Each contribution moves the skill closer to "Ready" status.

Nginx performance baseline
worker_processes auto;
worker_rlimit_nofile 65535;
events { worker_connections 4096; multi_accept on; }
http {
sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65; keepalive_requests 100;
gzip on; gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript;

}
PHP-FPM pool calculation
RAM for PHP = Total RAM - OS (200MB) - MySQL (25%) - Redis (10%)
max_children = RAM for PHP / avg PHP process size (typically 30-50MB)
start_servers = max_children / 4
min_spare_servers = max_children / 4
max_spare_servers = max_children / 2
UFW baseline
ufw default deny incoming
ufw default allow outgoing
ufw allow 22/tcp comment 'SSH'
ufw allow 80/tcp comment 'HTTP'
ufw allow 443/tcp comment 'HTTPS'
ufw limit 22/tcp comment 'SSH rate limit'
ufw --force enable
