Monit is a free and open source process and resource monitoring tool that can be used to monitor system processes and resources using a web browser and command line. Monit automatically stops or restarts processes or services if, for example, they use too many resources or behave abnormally. It also sends email alerts about various events.
On this page, we will perform some fine-tuning on an existing Monit instance (installed and configured by the ISPConfig automated installer) on a Debian 11 (Bullseye) perfect server to make it work properly for us.

With the help of the ISPConfig control panel, we can easily manage the websites on our server, as well as other web services. In this description, we will review how to build and provision our ISPConfig3 server, as well as how to set up free SSL certificates issued by Let's Encrypt for the control panel, main services and our websites. On this page, we check the web services and other components running on the server, then we set up the Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for the control panel and the required services and websites. Finally, we perform a few more fine-tuning tasks and eliminate any problems that may arise.

Perfect server: Debian 11 (Bullseye) v1.0

botond published 2022/12/13, k - 07:08 time
In this description, we will create a newer, Debian 11 (Bullseye) version of the perfect server. Unlike the previous perfect server installations, this time we will not do this with lengthy package installations and configurations, but with the help of an automation script, which the developers of ISPConfig have put together to facilitate the preparation of the server. The script has been available for some time, with the help of which it can be used not only on the Debian 11 (Bullseye) operating system, but also on the Debian 10 version, as well as on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04 systems. I automated the components of the perfect server.
