Linux setting up 7days in a chroot environment

[Knoxvilles_joker]

Has anyone documented the steps for setting up the server in a chrooted sandboxed environment?

I am looking at setting that up on my personal dedicated server. chroot is one of the security superpowers of linux (Apache and MYSQL have it as a standard launch option.) Coupled with config server firewall (CSF) you can create a security jail on your setup that makes things very much impossible to break out of.

I haven't seen anyone mention chrooted servers. Maybe the "Linux Game Server Manager" has something for you: There is a mention of docker images on their web site...

Great point and i thought hey why don't i try their install method.

They don't use chroot. All they do is add a wrapper to things and simplify launching and monitoring.

With all the virtualization everyone does now there has been a move away from operating system hardening.

Linux security and os hardening is not a skill to be taught to others it is one one learns. Most of the stuff out there is 95% fluff so i have to wonder if we should call the book sellers of those style of books fluffers…

Regardless i was putting a feeler out on my initial thought on writing a detailed how to for the community on step by step how to install and setup your linux server and secure it. The information is not there. Your response indicates we need some how tos on this stuff to help grow and support the community.
