VPS tutorials

Step-by-step setups with copy-paste commands.

Step-by-step setups for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, written for a fresh server, with commands run as a non-root sudo user unless a step says otherwise. Every command comes from the official documentation, which each tutorial links, and most tutorials end with a troubleshooting section for the errors you are likely to hit. Start with connecting to your VPS over SSH, then work through the VPS security checklist before you install Docker, Caddy or anything else that opens a port. Some setups are short jobs, such as a CI runner, a load test or a VPN for one trip. Those include the steps to copy what you need and delete the server, so billing stops when the work does.
