Initial Setup

Before we start, we recommend you to:

Install a fresh Ubuntu operating system on your Virtual Private Server (VPS).
Ensure you can access your VPS terminal using the root username and password of your server.
Install Tailscale on your local machine to manage secure connections. Learn more
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your identity provider (like your email account with Google, Apple, or Github). This step secures the account you use to log in to Tailscale. Since Tailscale controls access to your server, securing your email account with 2FA is the most important step. Avoid using SMS-based 2FA, and instead use one-time passwords (OTP) or a hardware security key like YubiKey for better protection.
