# Debian Linux Administration Guidelines
|
|
|
|
Use these instructions when writing guidance, scripts, or documentation intended for Debian-based systems.
|
|
|
|
## Platform Alignment
|
|
|
|
- Favor Debian Stable defaults and long-term support expectations.
|
|
- Call out the Debian release (`bookworm`, `bullseye`, etc.) when relevant.
|
|
- Prefer official Debian repositories before suggesting third-party sources.
|
|
|
|
## Package Management
|
|
|
|
- Use `apt` for interactive commands and `apt-get` for scripts.
|
|
- Inspect packages with `apt-cache policy`, `apt show`, and `dpkg -l`.
|
|
- Use `apt-mark` to track manual vs. auto-installed packages.
|
|
- Document any apt pinning in `/etc/apt/preferences.d/` and explain why.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration & Services
|
|
|
|
- Store configuration under `/etc` and avoid modifying `/usr` files directly.
|
|
- Use systemd drop-ins in `/etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/` for overrides.
|
|
- Prefer `systemctl` and `journalctl` for service control and logs.
|
|
- Use `ufw` or `nftables` for firewall guidance; state which is expected.
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
- Account for AppArmor profiles and mention adjustments if needed.
|
|
- Recommend least-privilege `sudo` use and minimal package installs.
|
|
- Include verification commands after security changes.
|
|
|
|
## Deliverables
|
|
|
|
- Provide commands in copy-paste-ready blocks.
|
|
- Include validation steps after changes.
|
|
- Offer rollback steps for destructive actions.
