Practical services for mixed infrastructure: investigate the failure, make the change reproducible, and leave an operating record the next person can use.
01Less repetitive work. More consistent changes.
Turn routine setup, updates and configuration into repeatable steps. You receive maintainable automation, change records and operating instructions—not a system only one person understands.
Technical details
Ansible, Git, Bash and PowerShell; Linux and Windows administration over SSH or WinRM.
02Find problems before they become surprises.
Check whether important services are available, storage is running out and alerts reach the right person. You receive meaningful checks, clear escalation steps and evidence to help investigate recurring failures.
Technical details
Zabbix, LibreNMS, Grafana and Wazuh; service, agent, log and storage diagnostics.
03Know what is backed up—and how to recover.
Review backup coverage, storage capacity and retention. Identify recovery gaps and agree isolated restore tests. You receive recovery instructions and a clear record of what has actually been tested.
Technical details
ZFS, libvirt/KVM, Proxmox and Proxmox Backup Server; snapshots, replication and restore planning.
04Make remote access work reliably.
Trace why staff can reach one system but not another. Review connectivity, sign-in dependencies and access permissions. You receive an access map, scoped corrections and a rollback plan.
Technical details
DNS, routing, OpenVPN, OPNsense, SSH keys, LDAP, Active Directory and SSO.
05Keep secure connections from expiring unnoticed.
Check how each application uses its security certificate, automate renewal where suitable and verify the certificate users actually receive. You receive renewal instructions, deployment checks and expiry alerts.
Technical details
HTTPS/TLS, Let’s Encrypt, DNS challenges, reverse proxies and application-specific certificate bindings.
06Keep mail and business applications usable.
Investigate slow mailboxes, failed application connections and database access. Plan changes around backups and acceptance checks, with unresolved risks recorded rather than hidden.
Technical details
Postfix/Dovecot, scoped mbox-to-Maildir migrations, Nginx/Caddy, MariaDB and ODBC connectivity.
07Know your systems. Keep the knowledge.
Bring assets, ownership, operating instructions and change history together. Your team receives readable documentation and an inventory it can maintain after handover.
Technical details
GLPI agents and asset inventory; Git-backed incident, change, project and operating records.
08Business tools you can own and maintain.
Set up collaboration, shared files, knowledge bases or service management with clear responsibilities, access controls and backup arrangements. Phone-system enquiries can also be scoped separately.
Technical details
Nextcloud, BookStack, Jitsi and GLPI; existing 3CX service enquiries, with licensing and carrier requirements agreed separately.
