About this Gig
Stop wrestling with servers. Let's just get your app into production.
I help developers turn raw VPS instances (like Hetzner, AWS, or DigitalOcean) into secure, production-ready environments. I'll Dockerize your entire stack both frontend and backend and set up a fully automated deployment pipeline, so you can focus on building your product instead of fixing server bugs.
Here is exactly what you get:
- Full-Stack Docker Setup: Run your frontend (React, Next.js, Vue, etc.), API, and databases smoothly together via Docker Compose.
- Real Security: Locked-down SSH, strict UFW firewall, Fail2Ban, and a safe non-root deploy user.
- Caddy Reverse Proxy: Automatic HTTPS (free SSL certificates) and clean domain routing for both your frontend and backend.
- Automated CI/CD: Push code to your main GitHub branch and watch both your frontend and backend deploy automatically with zero downtime.
What I need from you to start:
- Root SSH access to a fresh Ubuntu VPS.
- Access to your GitHub repositories (frontend and backend).
- Your production .env variables.
- DNS access to route your domains.
Send me a quick message with your tech stack before ordering, and let's get this shipped!

FAQ
What if I don't have a VPS, domain, or GitHub set up yet?
Any provider you choose. Whether you use Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS (EC2), Linode, Vultr, or a custom dedicated server, as long as it runs Ubuntu, the setup and security architecture remain exactly the same.
Which VPS providers do you support?
I highly recommend Hetzner for the best price-to-performance ratio, but I can deploy this exact same architecture on DigitalOcean, AWS (EC2), Linode, Vultr, or any modern Ubuntu server.
Do you deploy both the frontend and backend together?
Yes! I can Dockerize your entire stack (for example, a Next.js/React frontend alongside a FastAPI/Node backend) and route the traffic cleanly using subdomains.
What is a "non-root deploy user" and why is it important?
Running your application as the 'root' admin user is a massive security risk. I create a restricted, dedicated user strictly for deployments. If your app ever gets compromised, the attacker won't be able to take down your entire server.
Will my application have HTTPS/SSL?
100%. I use Caddy as a reverse proxy, which automatically generates, configures, and renews free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for all of your domains and subdomains.
How does the zero-downtime CI/CD automation work?
Once I set up the GitHub Actions pipeline, all you have to do is push your code to your main branch. GitHub will automatically log into the server, pull the new code, build the containers in the background, and seamlessly switch them out without your users noticing any downtime.
What happens if an automated deployment fails?
The pipeline is designed with safety in mind. It runs a health check loop before fully completing the deployment. If your new code crashes, the health check fails, the deployment aborts, and your server logs the error so you can fix it safely.
Do you also handle databases and background workers?
Yes. I can easily spin up containerized versions of PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, or dedicated background workers (like Celery or ARQ) right alongside your main application using Docker Compose.
Will I know how to manage the server after you finish?
Absolutely. With the Standard and Premium packages, I provide a clear "Quick Reference" cheat sheet. It includes the exact commands you need to check your logs, restart services, and monitor your server's disk space.
Can we discuss my specific tech stack before I order?
Definitely. Every product is a little bit different. Shoot me a quick message with your framework, database, and hosting preferences, and we will make sure this gig is the perfect fit for your architecture.
