Written in the hope it is useful...

This assumes that you have a base install from ones of the distro installs

LUKS Backup

If you enabled disk encryption backup the LUKS headers, so if they become corrupted one can restore the data.

cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup --header-backup-file <file> <device>
cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup --header-backup-file /tmp/luksHeader.backup /dev/sda1

For more info use the official cryptsetup backup and data recovery

Firewall Config

Add the custom firewall profile, which allows for mdns, samba, dhcpv6 and udp from a known device by MAC address (eg NAS drive).

sudo nmap -sP $IPADDR
echo "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<zone>
  <short>My Home</short>
  <description>For use in home areas. You mostly trust the other computers on networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.</description>
  <service name="mdns"/>
  <service name="samba-client"/>
  <service name="dhcpv6-client"/>
  <rule family="ipv4">
    <source mac="$MAC_ADDR"/>
    <protocol value="udp"/>
    <accept/>
  </rule>
</zone>" | sudo tee /etc/firewalld/zones/my-home.xml
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=my-home
firewall-cmd --set-log-denied=all
