Sometime in the future I might self-host my blog on my home server, but to start I went looking for a VPS from one of the cloud hosting providers. DigitalOcean has received positive feedback in the past from my local Linux Users Group.
I created a new account, spun up a "droplet" running Debian, and moved from Netlify to self-hosted using the Caddy web server.
So... Nice and shiny new droplet. What next?
