Good day!

The moment is approaching when I will need to deploy my application to a VPS, but I have never done this.

Application on the MERN stack.
I also plan to use Docker and NGINX.

What are the steps to follow to properly set up your server?

It goes without saying that you need to install dependencies, but what's next?

Tell us about the main actions with the firewall,
whether it is necessary to give some permissions to files, whether it is necessary to forbid doing something as root, and so on (I have zero experience in this, I'm afraid to miss something)
