ADR 0007: Decommissioning Obsolete Remote Tools

Status

Accepted

Context

The VPS had Tailscale and Windsurf Remote (Code-Server) installed. Tailscale was used for a private network that is no longer required, and Windsurf Remote was an obsolete installation that potentially consumed resources or posed a security surface.

Decision

1. Completely uninstall Tailscale from the VPS.
2. Surgically remove all Windsurf Remote / Code-Server artifacts (Binaries in /usr/local/lib, Symlinks in /usr/local/bin, and Configs in /root/.config).
3. Clean up associated firewall rules.

Consequences

• Pros:
  • Reduced attack surface.
  • Reclaimed disk space and simplified system state.
  • Elimination of network conflicts caused by redundant VPN layers.
• Cons:
  • Manual remote access is now strictly limited to standard SSH on Port 22.
