"basic care" for moode? updates, admin pw etc

[Iacov]

hey

what is the best practice to "care" for your moode installation?
only update the moode releases or should I do an apt update once in a while?
and should one set a password for root? I have set a password for my user with pi image but when switching to root, I'm not asked for a pw
using ssh, I have activated key authentication only, but would you recommend installing fail2ban?
what are the most important things you persnally do to make moode run smooth and safe?

- An apt upgrade always carries the risk of installing package or kernel updates that cause breakage in moode so do this at your own risk.

- After logging in with your own userid you can use sudo or su to gain root privileges. In RaspiOS the userid root is disabled. This is for good reason because any Linux OS with root userid enabled has a massive security vulnerability.

- I would just use password auth for SSH assuming you set a reasonable secure password.
