DevOps Notes

Provisioned and secured the production Oracle Cloud VPS environment from scratch. Configured Nginx reverse proxy with static asset caching headers, Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS with auto-renewal, PM2 process management, and Docker for the application. Hardened the PostgreSQL database with automated daily backup cron jobs. Implemented strict UFW firewall rules (SSH + HTTP + HTTPS only) and isolated environment secrets (.env chmod 600).
