Automated Hivelocity Server Provisioning Checklist
When a new Hivelocity dedicated server is provisioned, WebRun opens the Hivelocity portal, checks whether monitoring is enabled, a backup schedule is set, and basic firewall rules are configured, posts the current status to Teams, and creates a Trello card listing anything still outstanding so hardening does not get forgotten.
How do I make sure a new Hivelocity server gets properly hardened?
When a new Hivelocity dedicated server is provisioned, WebRun checks whether monitoring, backups, and basic firewall rules are in place, then posts the current status to Teams. It creates a Trello card listing anything still outstanding, so a hardening step never quietly gets skipped on a freshly provisioned box.
- Every new server gets the same hardening check, so nothing gets skipped
- Outstanding items are tracked in Trello instead of relying on memory
- The team sees setup status in Teams without logging into the portal

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it configure the firewall or set up monitoring itself?
No. WebRun checks and reports what is already configured. Making the actual firewall rules or monitoring setup stays with your team.
What counts as basic firewall rules?
Whatever baseline your team defines during setup, commonly restricting management ports to known IPs. WebRun checks against that same baseline every time.
What if a server is fully hardened already?
The Teams post shows everything confirmed and no Trello card gets created, since there is nothing left to track.
