Use this skill when inheriting a VPS (e.g., from a friend or a repurposed instance) to ensure no legacy users, keys, or services compromise the new stack.
Identify and remove non-system users to ensure you are the only human operator.
grep -v "/sbin" /etc/passwd (Look for unexpected users in /home).userdel -r <username> for any ghost accounts.Prevent unauthorized access via legacy SSH keys.
echo "" > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys (Immediately removes all existing key-based access).authorized_keys.Establish a default-deny posture.
ufw allow 22/tcp (CRITICAL: do this before enabling).ufw --force enable.Ensure the OS is patched and clean.
apt update && apt upgrade -y.apt autoremove -y.When automating this via a remote agent, use sshpass for initial password-based entry until keys are rotated:
sshpass -p 'password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@<ip> 'command'
When deploying from monorepos (like the automindlab-stack), the docker-compose.yaml is often NOT in the root.
find . -name "compose.yaml" to locate the specific deployment slice.docker compose -f path/to/compose.yaml up -d.netstat -tulpn or ss -tulpn.cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd.
