I run a small web dev business that's been around for a few years in this area. I've begun getting a good bit of work these days, so I don't have time to test everything on my servers or really to support them as I need to. Specifically I've been logging high IO on one machine and it appears to be related to mail functions (iotop shows "deliver" doing the most damage) so you'll need to know not just how to run servers reliably but also how to make a few fixes for an existing one.
Please be knowledgeable in Unix and its tools. Here's what I actually need done now:
* Dovecot/Postfix fixes (the server itself is lightning quick and works well but spam's been a problem)
* Apache and MySQL performance tweaks: Apache's been the main RAM hog here
* SSL certificate installation: A white whale of mine...I'm using a self-signed cert right now, this is from Godaddy :^p
* Set up some monitoring services (nothing over the top, just AWStats, Munin, maybe a couple others)
If you're good at what you do and show it while working on this stuff I'd love to have someone around who I can lean on for the tougher aspects of Unix sysadmin in the future, if not on a regular basis. Extra credit if you know your way around a php.ini and mod_wsgi.
In the same vein, for these projects please send me a quote but if I get an idea of how your work is we'll probably do hourly.
