Back up PostgreSQL on a VPS with pg_dump and pg_dumpall, restore with pg_restore, run nightly dumps, copy them off the server and test restores, Docker too.
Firewall a Pterodactyl host without losing players: game ports stay open over TCP and UDP while UFW limits SSH, the panel, SFTP and database ports.
Anyone with your stream key can go live on your channel. Where OBS keeps it on a VPS, who can read it there, safe remote access and how to reset it.
Run Claude Code, Codex CLI or OpenClaw on a VPS without handing it the server: a user without sudo, sandbox settings, firewall rules, SSH keys and logs.
Secure self-hosted n8n on a VPS: keep port 5678 private, claim the owner account first, turn on 2FA, guard the encryption key and lock down webhooks.
Run Homepage, Homarr or Dashy as a start page for your VPS services, open it through an SSH tunnel, and keep API keys and the Docker socket out of reach.
Run a status page that stays up when your servers go down: Uptime Kuma or Gatus on a separate VPS, HTTPS through Caddy, alerts and honest incident posts.
What a vCore is, how a host shares vCPUs, how to read steal time (st) in top and vmstat, and which workloads really need dedicated CPU cores on a VPS.
Run n8n, Baserow and PostgreSQL behind Caddy on one VPS: size it from the docs, lock it down, back it up nightly, watch it from outside and assign the upkeep.
Keep a Telegram bot online on a VPS: long polling or webhook, a Python and a Node.js bot under systemd or PM2, a root-only token file, logs and sizing.
Run a restore drill on a spare VPS or in a scratch folder: fetch the backup, check checksums and databases, start the app, time it and write a runbook.
Test a VPS network properly: ping and mtr for latency and loss, iperf3 between machines you control, speed test limits, and what a 1 Gbps port means.
Vercel Pro or a VPS for your Next.js app? Vercel's prices per seat, CDN tier and usage, what changes when you self-host, and a worked monthly cost example.
Measure your files and database dumps, then see how compression, deduplication and retention set the total, with a worked example for restic, borg and tar.
Estimate the monthly transfer of a website, API, game server or stream with the math shown, measure it with vnStat, and see what happens near the limit.
Plan for the day your VPS is gone: set data-loss and downtime targets, keep 3-2-1 copies, store logins and secrets off the server, and know your first hour.
Size a VPS for several apps from their documented RAM, CPU and disk needs, decide on one server or several, then plan isolation, ports, backups and monitoring.
Back up your VPS to another machine with restic over SFTP: SSH key, repository password, include list, systemd timer, retention, checks and restores.
VPS or dedicated server for your business? Compare isolation, hardware failures, upgrades, admin time and GDPR questions, and when you need your own hardware.
What shared hosting does for you, the limits a growing site runs into, what a VPS adds to your to-do list, and how to tell when it is time to move.
A VPS price buys vCores, RAM, disk and transfer. IPv4, DDoS protection, backups, licences, support and VAT vary, so check these 12 lines before you compare.
Know when a bigger VPS really helps: read memory, CPU, disk and traffic signals with free, vmstat, PSI and sar, fix leaks and logs first, then upgrade safely.
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 makes wg-quick route your VPS's SSH replies into the WireGuard tunnel. Get back in, keep SSH reachable and test with a timed rollback.
Cloudflare error 521 means your VPS refused Cloudflare's connection. Check the web server, ports, SSL mode, DNS and firewall in order, with the exact commands.
Docker publishes container ports before UFW's rules run, so ufw deny does nothing. Bind to 127.0.0.1, skip publishing, or filter in DOCKER-USER.
Move n8n to a new VPS with its database, .n8n folder and encryption key, test it before DNS, and fix Credentials could not be decrypted after a restore.
Fix nginx 502 Bad Gateway for a Node.js app under PM2: read error.log, check pm2 and ss, fix localhost vs ::1, socket permissions, deploy gaps and 504s.
Run Claude Code on a Linux VPS: requirements, the native installer, signing in over SSH, tmux, Remote Control from your phone, usage limits and security.
