Answer 1

vps-ka is the same machine as the developer, maybe a different operating system but fundamentally no different. How would you run your application on a nearby machine on your network?
Those. in the most oak version, as you run your server application locally, so run it on the server.
But then you begin to solve problems that arise .... like opened ssh in it, launched the application? when ssh is closed, it will also close, ok, run it through screen. Do you want it to autostart? set it up as a service (read the dock examples for the OS that is on the vps-ke), etc.
