Server-Setup/README.md

👀 Server-Setup Overview

This repository helps you build a complete self-hosted environment on your own VPS or home server. Host your own file server, Git repositories, video conferencing platform, online office suite, RSS reader, file sharing service, uptime monitoring, forms, synchronization tools, email server, vpn server and many other applications—all under your own control.

Terminal icerisinde yukari asagi yapmak icin 'Shift+Page_Up' ve 'Shift+Page_Down' tuslarini kullanabilirsin
'sudo dmesg -D' kodu ile terminale yazirilan auid yazilarini o oturum icin kisa sureli durdurur

BASE(Yunohost)

Video-Voice Call(Element,Synapse)
Rss(FreshRSS)
Github Repo Clone(Gitea)
Realtime Server Monitoring(Glances)

📦 OnlyOffice Setup

Verify that the server settings were successfully updated
Check healthcheck and api.js

sudo yunohost service status | grep -i onlyoffice
curl https://docs.domain/healthcheck
curl -I https://docs.domain/web-apps/apps/api/documents/api.js

Verify that the secret keys match

sudo grep -n -A5 -B5 "secret" /var/www/onlyoffice/config/local.json

"secret": {
"browser": {
"string": "secret_key"
Paste that key into 'Nextcloud>Administration Settings>ONLYOFFICE'
ONLYOFFICE Docs address: https://docs.domain
Secret Key: Paste secret_key here

Test>

sudo yunohost app shell nextcloud
php occ config:app:get onlyoffice jwt_secret

secret key

Verify the SSL certificate

curl -Iv https://docs.domain

Run the curl tests

sudo -i

php /var/www/nextcloud/occ app:disable richdocumentscode
php /var/www/nextcloud/occ app:disable office
php /var/www/nextcloud/occ app:list | grep -i "onlyoffice\|richdocuments\|richdocumentscode\|office"

sudo apt update

-Mail Settings-

(Cloudflare)
All Records should be DNS only
MX domain mail.domain (Priority 10)
TXT domain "v=spf1 a mx -all"
TXT _dmarc "v=DMARC1; p=none"
TXT mail._domainkey "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; p='long value that you can see in diagnosis screen'"
CAA domain issue "letsencrypt.org"

sudo yunohost diagnosis run  

sudo yunohost service status | grep -E "postfix|dovecot|rspamd|opendkim"  

sudo postconf myhostname
sudo grep -R "mail.domain" /etc/opendkim /etc/postfix /etc/dovecot 2>/dev/null

Which ports are open? ->
IMAP
sudo ss -tln | grep -E ":143|:993"

143 → IMAP + STARTTLS
993 → IMAPS (SSL/TLS)

SMTP
sudo ss -tln | grep -E ":25|:465|:587"

✅ 25
❌ 465
✅ 587

Is STARTTLS actually working? ->
SMTP
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect domain:587

Verify return code: 0 (ok)

IMAP
openssl s_client -connect domain:993
openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect domain:143

Is SMTP Authentication working ->

doveadm auth test furk4ngg@domain

auth succeeded

Can LDAP see the email address? ->

postmap -q "furk4ngg@domain" ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-accounts.cf  

What is the mail server hostname? ->

sudo postconf myhostname  

myhostname = domain

Verify the mail domains ->

sudo yunohost user info furk4ngg  

mail:furk4ngg@domain

Which domains accept mail? ->

sudo cat /etc/postfix/virtual-mailbox-domains

Show the dedicated sender addresses used by applications (Nextcloud, Synapse, etc.) ->
sudo postmap -s /etc/postfix/app_senders_login_maps

IMAP SETTINGS

Admin page -> https://mail.domain//app/?admin

Web Page Quality -> https://pagespeed.web.dev/

If its all good

Create a new account named dmarc@domain in YunoHost.
TXT _dmarc "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc@domain; adkim=s; aspf=s; pct=100"
Test it -> https://easydmarc.com/tools/dmarc-lookup

In your Server Hosting change (Reverse DNS Management>PTR Records(IPV4 to mail.domain / IPV6 to mail.domain))

sudo cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf.bak
export TERM=xterm-256color
sudo vim /etc/postfix/main.cf > myhostname = mail.domain

sudo postconf myhostname

myhostname = mail.domain

openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect mail.domain:587
Type>EHLO test

250-mail.domain

PTR Test
dig -x +short

mail.domain

If all three point to mail.domain, the mail configuration is fully consistent.

Emails appear under YunoHost → Users
You can connect and use your mail with these mail providers:Thunderbird,Gmail,Outlook,Proton Mail or with your Webmail Client(Snappy Mail)

📦 Wireguard VPN Setup

❌ In my opinion, this is not anonymity, since all tunnel traffic exits through a single VPS IP address

✅ On public Wi-Fi, all traffic is encrypted until it reaches your VPS

✅ You can securely access services such as Nextcloud, Gitea, and SSH

✅ You can restrict SSH and management panels so they are only accessible through the VPN

✅ You can also route DNS queries through your own server, preventing the local network from seeing them

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wireguard qrencode

wireguard-tools v1.0.20210914 - https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/

export TERM=xterm-256color
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
Make sure the following are present:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

sudo sysctl -p

sudo -i
sudo mkdir -p /etc/wireguard
cd /etc/wireguard

Server Public Key -> sudo cat /etc/wireguard/server_public.key

We will use this key for future clients

Server Private Key -> sudo cat /etc/wireguard/server_private.key

It should look similar to this:

Test -> ls -l /etc/wireguard
For wg0.conf and server_private.key, you should see the following:
