About this tag
The vps security tag covers practical hardening and deployment guidance for self-managed virtual private servers. Current discussions focus on securing Node.js services on Ubuntu with pinned runtimes, locked dependencies, PM2, NGINX, TLS, persistent configuration, and fail-safe deployment practices. They also examine OpenClaw hosting, warning against stale setup commands, exposing public port 18789, or placing an administrative gateway directly on the internet. Across these threads, vps security means keeping management services private, applying current Docker workflows, configuring reverse proxies correctly, and treating credentials, logs, backups, and updates as part of operational responsibility. The tag is most relevant to administrators running application workloads on provider-hosted VPS infrastructure.

    OpenClaw: Hostinger Guide Has Stale Setup, Public Port 18789

    Hostinger’s newly updated guide to setting up OpenClaw manually gives self-hosters a workable outline, but several of its commands and security defaults lag behind OpenClaw’s current documentation. The practical consequence is straightforward: do not copy its ./docker-setup.sh, ~/.clawdbot, or...
