• Containerization support with Docker and Kubernetes options
• Advanced security measures implementation
• Automatic system updates configuration
• Monitoring setup with Prometheus and Grafana
• Backup system configuration
• Application deployment (traditional and containerized)
• Rollback capability for all major operations

Prerequisites

• Root access on the target system (for Linux and macOS)
• Administrator privileges (for Windows)

Manual Installation (All Platforms)

You can also install ServerForge using our install script:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doziestar/server_forge/main/install.sh | bash

This script will detect your OS and architecture and install the appropriate version of ServerForge.

Usage

Run ServerForge with appropriate privileges:

On Linux/macOS:

sudo serverforge

Follow the interactive prompts to configure your server. ServerForge will ask for information such as:

• Linux distribution (for Linux installations)
• Server role
• Security level
• Monitoring preferences
• Backup frequency
• Update schedule
• Containerization preferences
• Applications to deploy

Modules

ServerForge is composed of the following modules:

• main.rs: The entry point of the application, orchestrating the setup process.
• config.rs: Defines the configuration structure for the server setup.
• utils.rs: Contains utility functions used throughout the application.
• setup.rs: Handles initial system setup and essential package installation.
• security.rs: Implements security measures and configures security tools.
• updates.rs: Sets up automatic system updates.
• monitoring.rs: Configures monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
• backup.rs: Sets up the backup system.
• deployment.rs: Handles traditional application deployment.
• containerization.rs: Manages Docker and Kubernetes setup and container deployment.
• rollback.rs: Provides rollback functionality for all major operations.
• distro.rs: Handles distribution-specific operations and package management.

Customization

ServerForge is designed to be easily customizable. To add or modify functionality:

1. Locate the relevant module file (e.g., security.rs for security features).
2. Add or modify functions as needed.
3. Update the main.rs file if you've added new high-level functionality.
