# Bash setup script for Ubuntu servers
[](https://travis-ci.org/jasonheecs/ubuntu-server-setup)
This is a setup script to automate the setup and provisioning of Ubuntu servers. It does the following:
* Adds or updates a user account with sudo access
* Adds a public ssh key for the new user account
* Disables password authentication to the server
* Deny root login to the server
* Setup Uncomplicated Firewall
* Create Swap file based on machine's installed memory
* Setup the timezone for the server (Default to "Asia/Singapore")
* Install Network Time Protocol
# Installation
SSH into your server and install git if it is not installed:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
```
Clone this repository into your home directory:
```bash
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/jasonheecs/ubuntu-server-setup.git
```
Run the setup script
```bash
cd ubuntu-server-setup
bash setup.sh
```
# Setup prompts
When the setup script is run, you will be prompted to enter the username of the new user account.
Following that, you will then be prompted to add a public ssh key (which should be from your local machine) for the new account. To generate an ssh key from your local machine:
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 200 -C "user@server" -f ~/.ssh/user_server_ed25519
cat ~/.ssh/user_server_ed25519.pub
```
Finally, you will be prompted to specify a [timezone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) for the server. It will be set to 'Asia/Singapore' if you do not specify a value.
# Supported versions
