FAQ
I don't have a VPS or domain yet. Can you help?
Yes - I'll recommend a provider that fits your budget (from $5/month) and guide you through ordering. Setup starts once you have access.
Nginx or Traefik - which should I pick?
Nginx if you want a friendly web UI to manage things yourself. Traefik if you prefer config files and plan to scale. I'll recommend based on your use case.
Will I be able to add more apps myself later?
Yes - that's the point of the setup. Standard/Premium include documentation showing exactly how to add the next app.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes, I offer monthly maintenance & monitoring - message me after delivery for details.
Is my data/access safe?
You create a temporary sudo user for me and remove it after delivery. All credentials stay in your hands; I document every change.
