About LearnVPS

LearnVPS exists because I spent way too long figuring out VPS stuff the hard way — cobbling together outdated forum posts, skimming docs that assumed I already knew everything, and breaking my server more than once in the process.

I run a production VPS (Hostinger KVM) with a stack that includes Docker, Traefik, PostgreSQL, Redis, n8n, Uptime Kuma, Ollama, and a handful of custom services. Everything on this site comes from that real setup, not from spinning up a throwaway server for a screenshot and moving on.

What makes this different

Most VPS tutorials fall into two camps: they're either surface-level "click here then click there" guides that don't explain why, or they're dense reference docs written for people who already know the answer. I'm trying to find the middle ground.

Every tutorial here follows a few principles:

• Real experience — I've done every step myself, on a live server, with real consequences if I get it wrong.
• Explain the why — You should understand what each command does and why you're running it, not just copy-paste blindly.
• Practical scope — Each tutorial solves one specific problem. No 10,000-word monsters that try to cover everything.
• Kept current — Tutorials are dated prominently and updated when things change.

Affiliate links

Some tutorials include affiliate links to VPS providers and tools. If you sign up through one of those links, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend services I personally use and pay for. This helps keep the site running and the tutorials free.
