# 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.
- `VMs/HostingerVM/vm-health-check.sh`
- Supported.
- Purpose: read-only VM health and drift check for disk, memory, swap, Docker health, failed systemd units, and stale root crontab script paths.
- Risk level: low, because it is read-only apart from an optional local log write.
## 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.
