Daily Routine, People, and Upkeep

Your daily routine

Open VS Code, connect to the host, click the Claude Code icon.

Or from a terminal:

cd ~/bos && claude

To make that one word, add this to the end of ~/.bashrc, then reconnect and type bos:

alias bos='cd ~/bos && claude'

Adding other people

On the server, create their account:

sudo adduser theirname

Add their username to the AllowUsers line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, then:

sudo sshd -t
sudo systemctl reload sshd

Have them do Step 1 on their own machine and send you only the .pub line — never their private key. Put that line into /home/theirname/.ssh/authorized_keys, owned by them, mode 600.

Then invite their device to your tailnet from the Tailscale console.

Who gets sudo? As few people as possible, ideally one. Everyone else can use the agent fully without it. Administrator rights belong to whoever is prepared to fix the server, not to whoever is most senior.

Keeping it alive

Update monthly:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Back up your work. The server is rented, not owned. Keep your bos folder in a Git repository, turn on Hetzner backups, or both — see Backing Up Your System.

Watch memory when you add people: free -h. If available memory drops below about 1 GB with everyone connected, it is time for a bigger plan.

Watch the bill. Hetzner charges by the hour. A server you forgot about still costs money every month, forever.
