Is there an existing script that goes through the “basics” for whenever you have a new linux install. I get this can vary by distro somewhat, but stuff like running updates, installing UFW, fail2ban, disabling/changing SSH port, etc.
If you are into Red Hat, I believe you can “script” an install with their Anaconda Installer configuration.
Otherwise, your script would be tailored to the package manager at the very least.
