Hi, I’m setting up a public wiki using mediawiki and I’d like some help ensuring the server and mediawiki is safely setup before I start sharing it publicly. I installed it on Vultr using the mediawiki app from the Vultr Marketplace. Are there any things I should ensure before publicly sharing the link?
Some things I’ve done so far:
-
I disabled password login to the server so its only possible to login via ssh
-
I made it so I have to approve of any edits to the wiki
-
I still haven’t enabled uploads of files because I want to ensure I only allow jpeg\png uploads.
I’m relatively new to running servers so any tips are highly appreciated.

Install fail2ban. Prevents brute force access to your server. The defaults should be fine.
Done. Thanks!
