There are a couple of things that I want to do next, and I'll probably use this site/server as the base.FAQ Steps to install and VSFTPD FTP Server on Ubuntu 22.04 Yes, it worked :) I really enjoyed this exercise, and I find it cool to be hosting my site on my Linux server. var/on the server, where instead of in the path I had the domain I bought earlier. What I did was that I used FileZilla to move the code from my local computer to the path: That of course might be a bit of overhead for such a small project but for the sake of learning, why not? I'm wondering if I should set up some delivery pipeline for it. I'll admit this step is not the most professional :D but I just wanted to get my code to the server as quickly as possible to see if everything was working. Here we see how to install Nginx and other adjustments. We can either use Nginx or Apache, and I decided to go for Nginx. Now we are going to make make it into a web server. Then you can create a DNS service in DigitalOcean and then make sure that the domain registrar is pointing to the DigitalOcean nameservers. You can also buy from GoDaddy or other domain providers. Since I was setting up a web server in the hope of having a site deployed, I was going to need some domain, so I bought one using Namecheap.

I would also recommend setting up SSH keys on the server.

These steps involve creating another user, setting up a basic firewall and enabling external access. Once the server is up and running, we can start on the initial setup. I didn't see the need for the backup option at this point. I chose an Ubuntu 18.04 image, using the cheapest standard plan and no backups. This documentation shows how to create the server, or Droplet as DigitalOcean calls it. I'll be using DigitalOcean as the cloud provider, but I assume these instructions can be transferred to other cloud providers, although I haven't tried it. My main purpose with this exercise is to do a Linux project and learn. In this post I'm going to go through the steps I took to deploy a Linux server, make it a web server and deploy my personal site on it.
