What does server management consist of, really? 99.99999% of LEBs are unmanaged, so how am I supposed to manage them? Currently, I just run updates of the OS and software, and don't do stupid things like make root SSH available via password authentication on port 22. But I feel like there must be more to it. Admittedly, I don't know much about security, and my strongest form of security is security by obscurity - that is, of all the IPs for bots to hit, why mine? So my question is twofold: what does server management consist of (aside from updating software), and what should I do to secure my server?
