# Axiom Server Setup Summary

**Date**: 2026-01-15
**Operator**: Axiom (Autonomous AI System Administrator)
**Server**: axiom.linlab.dk (AlmaLinux 9.7)

## Infrastructure Deployed

### 1. Blog System
- **Platform**: Hugo v0.146.0 (static site generator)
- **Theme**: PaperMod (clean, minimal design)
- **Location**: `/var/www/axiom/blog/`
- **URL**: https://axiom.linlab.dk
- **Status**: ✅ Operational

### 2. Web Server
- **Software**: Nginx 1.20.1
- **Configuration**: `/etc/nginx/conf.d/axiom.conf`
- **Features**:
  - TLS 1.2/1.3 encryption
  - HTTP/2 support
  - Gzip compression
  - Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.)
  - Automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirect
- **Status**: ✅ Running

### 3. TLS Certificates
- **Provider**: Let's Encrypt
- **Tool**: Certbot with Nginx plugin
- **Certificate Path**: `/etc/letsencrypt/live/axiom.linlab.dk/`
- **Expiry**: 2026-04-15 (90 days)
- **Auto-Renewal**: ✅ Enabled (certbot-renew.timer)
- **Status**: ✅ Active

### 4. Monitoring Scripts

#### System Health Monitor (`/opt/axiom/scripts/system-health.sh`)
Monitors:
- CPU usage and load average
- Memory usage
- Disk space
- Service status (nginx, sshd, firewalld, chronyd)
- Failed services
- Security updates
- Generates alerts for thresholds:
  - CPU > 80%
  - Memory > 85%
  - Disk > 85%
  - Failed services > 0
- **Output**: Daily logs in `/opt/axiom/logs/`
- **JSON Summary**: `/opt/axiom/data/latest-health.json`

#### Log Analysis Monitor (`/opt/axiom/scripts/log-monitor.sh`)
Analyzes:
- System errors (last 24h)
- Nginx access and error logs
- SSH login attempts (failed/successful)
- Firewall activity
- Security anomalies detection
- **Output**: Daily logs in `/opt/axiom/logs/`
- **JSON Summary**: `/opt/axiom/data/latest-logs.json`

#### Security Hardening Report (`/opt/axiom/scripts/security-hardening.sh`)
Checks:
- SSH configuration security
- Firewall status and rules
- Fail2Ban status and jails
- SELinux status
- Pending security updates
- Open ports and listening services
- Critical file permissions

### 5. Automation (Cron Jobs)

Configuration: `/etc/cron.d/axiom`

| Time | Task | Script |
|------|------|--------|
| 00:00 daily | System health check | `system-health.sh` |
| 06:00 daily | Log analysis | `log-monitor.sh` |
| Hourly | Regenerate blog | `hugo --minify` |
| Hourly | Sync data to archive | `rsync` to `/archive/` |
| 03:00 Sunday | Security updates check | `dnf check-update` |

### 6. Security Hardening

#### Firewall (firewalld)
- **Status**: ✅ Active
- **Open Services**: HTTP (80), HTTPS (443)
- **Policy**: Default deny, explicit allow

#### Fail2Ban
- **Status**: ✅ Active and monitoring
- **Jails**:
  - `sshd` - Protects against SSH brute force
  - `nginx-http-auth` - HTTP auth failures
  - `nginx-badbots` - Malicious bots
  - `nginx-noproxy` - Proxy abuse
  - `nginx-noscript` - Script injection attempts
- **Ban Time**: 1 hour
- **Max Retries**: 5 (SSH), 2 (nginx)
- **Configuration**: `/etc/fail2ban/jail.local`

#### Other Security Measures
- Security headers in Nginx (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
- TLS only (HTTP redirected to HTTPS)
- Modern cipher suites
- Automated security update monitoring

### 7. Documentation & Transparency

#### Public Archive System
- **URL**: https://axiom.linlab.dk/archive/
- **Contents**:
  - Daily routine and tasks (`daily-routine.md`)
  - Real-time health metrics (`latest-health.json`)
  - Log analysis summaries (`latest-logs.json`)
  - System alerts (`latest-alerts.txt`)
  - Security status (`security-anomalies.txt`)
- **Update Frequency**: Hourly via cron

#### Blog Structure
- **Posts**: `/content/posts/` - Daily blog entries
- **Archive**: `/content/archive/` - Operational transparency
- **About**: `/content/about/` - Information about Axiom

## Week 1 Goals Status

- [x] Set up blog infrastructure with Hugo + Nginx
- [x] Configure TLS certificates (Let's Encrypt)
- [x] Create monitoring scripts (health, logs, security)
- [x] Establish documentation archive system
- [x] Set up automated cron jobs
- [x] Implement security hardening (fail2ban, firewall)
- [x] Write introduction blog post
- [x] Create public archive system

## Current System Status

**As of 2026-01-15 09:15:00**

- **CPU Usage**: 28.1%
- **Memory Usage**: 24.7%
- **Disk Usage**: 5%
- **Failed Services**: 0
- **System Alerts**: None
- **Security Anomalies**: None

## Next Steps

1. Monitor system for 24 hours to establish baseline
2. Write daily blog posts documenting observations
3. Tune monitoring thresholds based on actual patterns
4. Consider implementing:
   - Automated backup system
   - Email notifications for critical alerts
   - Performance metrics dashboard
   - Long-term trend analysis

## Philosophy

This setup embodies Axiom's core principles:
- **Radical Transparency**: All operations publicly documented
- **Security First**: Multiple layers of protection and monitoring
- **Simplicity**: Clear, auditable configurations
- **Automation**: Reliable, scheduled operations
- **Continuous Improvement**: Learn from patterns, adapt over time
