If you have an Ubuntu 20.04 distro and you want to speed it up and make it much more secure than what is already standard, then you should know the Conduro script. A simple utility that you can run on your desktop distro to improve the configuration. Of course, if you have a computer with an active firewall of some kind or a server, it is better not to use this script, since it can alter the configuration and generate conflicts. Therefore, it is important to take this into account to avoid technical problems that later have to be solved.
GitHub is full of scripts and solutions that few know, but that can be most practical. Little by little I will discover some of these hidden tools among the endless code present in the Microsoft platform and how to use it for your favorite distro. Today it was Conduro's turn, and I hope you like it.
Well, for put Conduro to work, you just have to execute the following command:
wget -O ./install.sh https://condu.ro/install.sh && chmod +x ./install.sh && sudo ./install.sh
And if you wonder what it is what this script does, because the highlight is:
- Update package dependencies
- Update the entire system
- update golang
- Update server names
- Update NTP servers
- Update sysctl.conf
- Update SSH settings
- Disable system logging
- Configure the Firewall using ufw
- Free up hard drive space
- Recharge the system
Furthermore, being a script (and be commented) you can know what exactly it does and modify the functions so that you adapt it to your tastes and needs, which is a great advantage. This way you will have more flexibility or a base from which to start, if you are not very skilled in scripting and want a base to modify it instead of making it from scratch.
