What to Plan Before You Deploy

A few simple checks that save time later.

Pick a tested OS

The guides are tested on Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12, so start from one of those to follow them as written.

Size memory for the tool

Check the memory notes for your tool and pick a plan with room above the minimum for models and browsers.

Prepare your secrets

Gather API keys before you begin and keep them in an environment file with tight permissions.

Plan your volumes

Decide where databases, models and uploads will live so updates and rebuilds leave them in place.

Harden before exposure

Create a non-root user, enable UFW and fail2ban, and add TLS before opening any web interface to the internet.

Back up and watch

Snapshot before each upgrade and keep an eye on CPU, memory and disk once the tool is running.

Deployment Options for AI VPS Setup Guides

Pick the setup that fits your project.

Docker Compose

Run the tool, its database and a reverse proxy together from one Compose file that is easy to update and roll back.

Native install with systemd

Install lighter tools directly on the OS and add a service unit so they restart automatically.

Split across servers

When one server is no longer enough, move the model server or workers to a second machine and keep the interface on the first.

How to Set It Up Step by Step

From a fresh server to a running app.

  1. 1

    Update the server

    Log in over SSH and bring the base system up to date.

  2. 2

    Install Docker

    Install Docker Engine and the Compose plugin from the official script.

  3. 3

    Lock down the firewall

    Allow SSH and HTTPS only, then turn the firewall on.

  4. 4

    Start your stack

    Put your compose file in a project folder and start it in the background.
