Technical help with Linux servers, websites and internet services

I diagnose and organize issues with servers, DNS, business email, SSL certificates, Docker, backups and monitoring.

If something is broken, unstable or needs a cleaner setup, describe the problem. I will suggest a sensible first step.

How I can help

  • A server is unstable, services stop unexpectedly or logs show errors.
  • Business email lands in spam or messages do not reach recipients.
  • DNS, domain, SSL or HTTPS needs diagnosis or proper configuration.
  • A website or application needs to run in Docker or behind a reverse proxy.
  • Backups, monitoring, alerts or basic infrastructure order are missing.

Main specializations

Linux and servers — troubleshooting outages, logs, services, SSH and firewalls, and cleaning up configurations.

Examples of diagnostics and deployments

Email certificate error

Problem: Thunderbird did not trust the IMAPS server certificate.

Result: a complete Dovecot TLS chain and successful connection verification.

Web container migration

Problem: Traefik could not reach the service after an nginx image change.

Result: the port was corrected and the deployment verified in integration.

Failover test

Problem: verification of the procedure for switching a website to a standby VPS.

Result: a successful test and an apparent issue traced to the DNS cache.

How cooperation works

  1. You describe the issue through the contact form.
  2. I check whether I can help and suggest a sensible first step.
  3. We agree on the scope, cost and way of working.
  4. After the work is done, you get a clear note on what changed and why.

Technical knowledge

You will also find blog posts and tutorials here. They show how I approach technical topics: practically, step by step and with focus on understanding how the system works.
