Without foreknowledge or extensive Linux experience, it would be very difficult to figure out how the server is set up w.r.t to services, port forwarding, and more.
Documenting this would be very useful, but the chance of this documentation becoming out of date is very high.
Instead, we should automate as much of the setup as possible using bash scripts and attempt to mainly interact with the server through them.
This will both automate many recurring procedures like updating service files or restarting them after software updates, but also allow new maintainers to have a single source to learn about the setup.
