We prepare a fresh Linux installation. Existing production systems and migrations are a different kind of work.

Compare all ten Linux releasesSee pipeline coverage and role-dependent differences at a glance.

All four families support core preparation, backups and the final review. Optional server roles depend on the exact Linux release.

Technical details

OS fingerprint, CPU architecture, storage probes, SSH reachability and read-only readiness checks.

Choose the correct preparation method

Use settings and packages appropriate to this exact Linux release—not a generic script.

Technical details

Version-specific OS module, apt or dnf package management, validated execution plan.

02P2Make the foundation dependable.Prepare access, updates and essential protection with checks that confirm the changes really took effect.INCLUDED

Bring the system up to date

Install appropriate system updates and configure the server's essential services.

Technical details

Package updates, time zone and host identity, unattended security updates and verified service state.

Protect administrative access

Reduce unnecessary exposure

Allow only the required network access and add protection against repeated login attempts.

Technical details

Test restoring the backup instead of relying only on a successful backup message.

Technical details

Isolated restore of the exact snapshot, content checks and recovery evidence.

05P5Finish with proof, not promises.Check the final configuration and deliver a clear record of what was completed.INCLUDED

Review the security settings

Technical details

CIS-aligned applicable checks, Lynis findings and role-dependent OWASP review.

Hand over a verifiable result

Receive the connection information and reports needed to take control of your server.

Technical details

Final state verification, reports, SSH handoff artifacts and execution evidence.

03THE IMPORTANT DETAILS

A clear fit. No guesswork.

Compatibility is more than an operating-system name. These are the conditions that make the result dependable.

A fresh start

SysLauncher prepares newly installed Linux servers, not existing production systems or migrations.

Fresh-install requirement

The right combination

Server software and optional roles must match the selected Linux version and architecture.

Role-specific compatibility

A checked finish

The setup is verified before it is handed over. A command completing is not enough.

Observed final state
