Sharing some small tools we use at our studio to manage HestiaCP servers in production — scripts, optimization guides, and AI prompt blueprints


Hey everyone,

I’ve been using HestiaCP in production for a while now, and over time I’ve built up a small collection of scripts, guides, and configs that we use internally. I figured I’d share them since I’ve benefited so much from other people sharing their work in this community — feels only right to give something back.

What’s in the repo:

  • PHP-FPM, MariaDB, and SWAP optimization guides — practical calculations for tuning based on your actual RAM and traffic, not copy-pasted generic values
  • Custom bash scripts: backup wrapper with symlink support and smart retention, GitHub mirror script, system health report, log cleanup, and an Exim outbound limit monitor
  • AI prompt blueprints — platform-agnostic system prompts for a DevOps agent and an automated health monitor. No dependency on any specific tool, just inject them into whatever LLM setup you use

Fair warning: some things in there might look unconventional or like overkill for your setup. That’s fine — they exist because of specific problems we ran into. They’re not polished products, they’re internal tools that happen to work for us. I’m sharing them as-is in case they’re useful to someone else, even partially.

Feedback, PRs, or just questions are welcome. If something looks wrong or could be done better, genuinely happy to hear it.
