I have a web application already containerised with Docker that runs flawlessly on my local machine, and I want it live on a fresh Ubuntu VPS. The server is a clean install with no prior configurations, so you’ll be starting from scratch and can structure the environment exactly as you see fit. I will supply full SSH access to the VPS along with the project repository, environment files, and any other credentials you request. Your task is to replicate the local behaviour in production: every feature, background task, and endpoint must work exactly the same once the containers are up on the server. Part of the job includes: • installing and configuring Docker (and Docker Compose if you prefer) on Ubuntu • building/pulling the images and spinning up the containers • wiring environment variables, volumes, and ports so they mirror my local setup • implementing basic hardening steps (firewall rules, secure user, swap tweaks) so the deployment is safe to expose publicly When you’re done, I should be able to visit the public IP or domain and see the app operating with no functional differences from my local build. Please outline any additional steps I’ll need to repeat for future updates or scaling.
