Tutorial Series: Foundry VTT with self-hosted cloud (Part 4: Installation)

In this tutorial series, we will finally install and run Foundry VTT on a cloud server, specifically Digital Ocean. This video will show you in detail: (quickly) how to create a Digital Ocean droplet, how to connect to the droplet using ssh from Windows, how to prepare the system by upgrading the base OS, how to enable a firewall to make the system a bit more secure – how to install and configure node.js, pm2 and Caddy – how to download the Foundry binary and how do I structure my server, directory wise – put all the pieces together and end up with a running Foundry server controlled by pm2, with a valid SSL certificate and using a domain we registered earlier In the next few sessions you will learn how to manage our Foundry server, look at the logs for errors, how to manually backup and restore them – check out a nifty little tool I’m currently working on that will automate the whole process Setup and have you up and running in minutes —————————- —– Disclaimer ity: Digital Ocean Referral Program: If you would like to follow along with this series of tutorials, you can sign up by using my referral link: https://m.do.co/c/ea9292afc8cc
– You will receive 100 USD to try everything Digital Ocean has to offer for 60 days. If you think their services are useful to you, your expenses should be covered after that period of time from your own wallet. If you choose to spend $25 of your own cash on the line, I will receive a $25 credit on my own Digital Ocean bill; this will help reduce vtta.io’s ongoing costs and is greatly appreciated. – Please note: I have been using Digital Ocean for at least a couple of years and would not recommend using them just for this referral program. If you don’t want to support me, that’s fine! Just go to Digital Ocean and sign up there directly without my referral code, I think you’ll like it just the same!
