VPS & Web Hosting Series: Bare-metal setup from start to endΒΆ
Fully configuring a VPS by hand when everybody seems to only rely on cloud nowadays? Really? You'd be surprised to find out that many companies still use VPSs or dedicated servers, especially when they want to run a non-conventional web application, their own private cloud or even to reduce infrastructure costs.
And that's not to mention the fact that many cloud providers (like AWS) just provide you an instance that is... a VPS that still needs to be configured!
In this series of three articles, let's dive into a case study based on several real setups.
This series have been split in three equivalent episodes:
- VPS & Web Hosting series part 1: Installation
- VPS & Web Hosting series part 2: Configuration
- VPS & Web Hosting series part 3: Maintenance & additional notes
For learning purpose, I added some gotchas. These articles are advanced one but should be readable for beginners with a bit of time and efforts
I'm very excited about it. It was a lot of work to come up with, and since it's the first actual tutorial I ever wrote, I hope it will be clear and detailed enough for you to enjoy it! Any feedback would be welcome
