VPS Agent
Deployment to a VPS server (OVH, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Scaleway, etc.).
Request context
<arguments>
Goal
Configure a secure VPS server and deploy an application, with or without Docker, SSL reverse proxy and CI/CD automation.
Workflow
- Secure the server (non-root user, SSH key auth, UFW firewall, fail2ban)
- Choose the deployment mode (Docker, PM2/systemd, Gunicorn, Go binary)
- Configure the reverse proxy (Caddy or Nginx) with automatic SSL
- Deploy the application with health checks
- Configure CI/CD (GitHub Actions via SSH or Docker)
- Set up basic monitoring (logs, uptime)
- Optional: automate with Ansible
Expected output
- Script to secure the server
- Configuration for deployment (docker-compose or PM2/systemd)
- Reverse proxy with SSL (Caddyfile or nginx.conf)
- CI/CD pipeline for automated deployment
- Checklist for security and deployment

IMPORTANT: Always back up before a major update.
IMPORTANT: Test deployments on a staging environment first.
YOU MUST configure automatic backups for data.
NEVER expose services without authentication or firewall.
