Learn Something New! - How to Deploy Self-Hosted Apps on a RamNode VPS

In this video, I deploy real applications on a Linux VPS using Coolify and Portainer on RamNode. Starting from a fresh Ubuntu instance, I walk through best practices, install both platforms from scratch, and show how they simplify app and container management. Along the way, I explore RamNode features like security groups, snapshots, and access control to lock things down properly. If you’re interested in self-hosting, Docker, or getting more out of a VPS, this video is a great place to start. *🙏 Thanks to RamNode for Sponsoring This Video!* Check out RamNode and develop, deploy, and grow your project or business on their OpenStack-based cloud platform.
