Scripts

This directory is the preferred home for self-contained operational scripts.

Current Scripts

  • ubuntu-vm-security-update.sh
    • Supported.
    • Purpose: update and harden Ubuntu VMs with unattended upgrades, UFW, and fail2ban.
    • Risk level: high, because it modifies packages, firewall rules, and reboot behavior.

Conventions

  • New standalone operational scripts should go here instead of the repo root.
  • Each script should document:
    • prerequisites
    • required environment variables
    • destructive or privileged behavior
    • example usage
  • Scripts that change host state should support --help and a non-destructive preview mode when practical.

Legacy Note

The repo root still contains older shell utilities. Those are not all deprecated, but new work should prefer scripts/ for clearer ownership and discoverability.
