The VPS Production Playbook

You can write code. Deploying it to a live server is the part that keeps you up at night the open port you forgot, root login left on, a database exposed to the whole internet, no HTTPS, no backups, no way to undo a bad deploy.This playbook is the exact sequence a senior engineer follows to take a Node/Next.js + PostgreSQL app from a blank Ubuntu VPS to a hardened, HTTPS, backed-up production server — following one non-negotiable rule: never break a site that's already running.WHAT YOU GET• An 18-page, no-fluff PDF guide — 14 chapters, each ending in a "Verify" step so you never move on with a broken box.• 6 ready-to-run scripts & configs (not pseudocode): first-run hardening, an Nginx reverse-proxy config with security headers + login rate-limiting, a systemd service, a safe deploy script with automatic rollback, nightly Postgres backups, and a read-only "am I hacked?" audit.• A printable Go-Live Checklist.WHO IT'S FORDevelopers, freelancers and small agencies shipping real apps to a VPS who want a repeatable, safe process instead of SSHing in and hoping.Every command reads your server's state before it changes it, and every risky step comes with a rollback. Instant download. Single-purchaser license — use it on your own and your clients' servers.
