In case you are new to the Abra world, here are some key concepts:
**Abra**: The tool used to manage remote servers to host apps online - such as wordpress or other web tools and systems.
**Debian**: A linux operating system distribution that Abra can use
**SSH**: Secure shell for securely connecting to remote servers. This protocol is used widely for communication on the internet and Abra uses it too.
**SSH keys**: The equivalent of a password or secret to be able to uniquely identify yourself and gain access to a server. These scripts will generate SSH keys for you. Protect these.
**Public key**: The SSH key that is publicly shared and used by others, especially remote computers, to know that you are the one communicating with them
**Private key**: The SSH key that you must be keep to yourself and never shared with anyone, not even an administrator. This is used to identify yourself uniquely. The fact that you have this key can be verified with the public key on the server and is how the server knows who you are and can communicate securely.
**Git**: A tool used keep track of files (a version control system). Abra works out of a git "repository", like this one, to store settings for server apps and to access recipes for how to run apps on the server.
**Docker**: A tool to create an app-specific environment that allows apps to be isolated from one another and from the server. These container-based environments add a layer of additional security and often simplify the management and development of apps.
