How I run 5 different applications on the same server

This post is a follow-up to the discussion - Why I run 5 different apps on the same server. I had promised a write-up on the setup. Here it is.

I aim to help the Indie hackers interested in but not familiar with a manual production-ready server setup with this post. Some upsides of a manual server setup,

• Maximum flexibility.
• No vendor lock-in. You can deploy your application anywhere.
• Save hosting costs.

I have shared my current fully automated setup in the blog post linked below in detail. Also, this setup may not be ideal for your requirements.

What topics are covered?

1. Process manager
2. DNS
3. Webserver
4. SSL Certificate
5. CI & CD (push-to-deploy)
6. CDN
7. Automatic Backups
