# install.sh

> A 15-minute Bash script that turns a fresh Rocky / Alma / Fedora VPS into a production-ready, security-hardened Docker host (SSH hardening, firewall, fail2ban, auto-updates, Portainer, Nginx Proxy Manager).

Built for indie devs and lean teams who’d rather pay one $20 server than juggle cloud services.  
*Re-run safe* (idempotent) and logs everything to `/var/log/install.sh.log`.

Key points  
- Supports Rocky Linux 9, AlmaLinux 9, Fedora 39+  
- Interactive prompts: SSH port, timezone, Portainer choice, reboot  
- Helper: `/usr/local/bin/add_secure_user` creates sudo + docker users  
- Full source is <200 lines, MIT-licensed
