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.
