      If you haven’t ever browsed the Real Men Run as Root pages, do so. Oldies but goodies.

      That’s because you didn’t disable password for ssh login, nor wireguard vpn tunneling (no idea why openclaw was shilling tailscale), and you don’t have robust fail2ban rules.

    And after having done that, you spend the next day automating these steps with cloud-init and Ansible

      Well you could have skipped a bunch of it if you make ssh only available via tailscale like he does

      No. You see, it’s much easier doing the same thing in some cloud like aws and paying a small fortune for a slower server than on a vps.

        I hate to tell you but a VPS is just a VM in the cloud. Unless you’re paying for bare metal, at which point you are paying an arm and a leg.

          You’re technically correct, but missing my point.

          Yes, it’s both ‘a cloud’ but a VPS is much cheaper and needs way less configuration compared to a so-called ‘cloud provider’ like AWS, Azure or Alphabet (or other companies starting with the letter A, I guess).
