Provisioning a new VPS
Assuming I'm using Vultr right now.
- Pick specs
- Sydney location, $5 VPS, Debian 9 should be good
Enable IPv6 and Auto Backups
- Tick all SSH keys
Generic firewall group
- Pick a good hostname and a leave the label as matching it
- Deploy Now
Once the installation gets far enough it'll have an IP address allocated. Grab it and go add the DNS entry for it at https://www.gandi.net/en
Go to the server's settings and set your Reverse DNS, foo.meidokon.net
- Configure backups: Weekly, Friday, 21:00 UTC
You should be pretty much sorted now.
