I decided to jump into the waters of getting a dedicated server after years of barely managing the system administration on a VPS.

Being a total noob to dedicated servers and IPMI, now I'm wanting to reinstall the OS. I didn't have any important data yet on the server, so I can just start from scratch.

I will be reinstalling with the same OS, Debian 12, as the dedicated server was provisioned with.

Is there anything I need from the previous configuration to note down, that I will need as input with the reinstall?

You should be able to order server backups from your provider, while you are at it get them to quote you for basic server management such as security hardening.


Thanks for taking your time to make some helpful suggestions!
