Great summary for beginners like me! Definitely bookmarking it.
One negative feeling however is that the author didn't mentioned Coolify in the article while being stated in the title :(
Another good article on the same topic that I have already bookmarked is: Setting up a Production-Ready VPS from Scratch (https://dreamsofcode.io/blog/setting-up-a-production-ready-v...)
To expand my knowledge on this topic, generally, after I finish reading this type of content, I copy the article link, put it in an LLM and prompt it:
"here's an article on 'topic name/article title': https://article.link. Grasp it, analyze it then expand each section mentioned from your own knowledge. Add additional sections relative to the subject"
Thank you for that useful link. I've bookmarked it as I usually go through the similar steps once in a while and I forget each, what needs to be done exactly.
In addition, I can wholeheartedly recommend this video tutorial that guided me through setting up Coolify for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taJlPG82Ucw
Been running this setup for about a year now, and it's the first time I am actually self-hosting and feeling fairly confident about it.
