How to quickly set up a web server on a VPS?

Question

Network administration

Please share your tips on how to quickly cook up a web server for developing several Laravel applications on one VPS, and not run into a bunch of problems with security, access rights, etc.
There are some things I would like to clarify:

1. Are there images of ready-made web servers for various tasks?
   
2. Is it possible to copy the image of a configured VPS and quickly deploy it to another?
   
3. Are there analogues of Homebrew under linux systems for quick installation of packages?
   
4. Is it possible to create some kind of web server package by hand and then deploy it with one command on new projects?
   

Thanks for any kicks in the right direction!

Are there images of ready-made web servers for various tasks?

Yes, but it's better to do it yourself or order.

Is it possible to copy the image of a configured VPS and quickly deploy it to another?

Can.

Are there analogues of Homebrew under linux systems for quick installation of packages?

Well, probably only manual divisions. Well, unless, of course, you count the installation of full-fledged hosting control panels.

Is it possible to create some kind of web server package by hand and then deploy it with one command on new projects?

Maybe.

Answer 4

I would recommend some Ansible. To just add a variable (domain, for example), run the playbook and see the results of your work. The same goes for deploying new servers. Or docker

Answer 5

Yes, there are. Ansible and similar tools. Many hosters (Amazon AWS, Digital Ocean) have the ability to make images and then deploy from them, it is possible to use scripting at the stage of server creation. In fact, almost everything can be automated.

Answer 6

yes, as a rule, with the site control panel in scripts, a web server is installed.
you can install a ready-made template.
