This article compiles quality resources related to VPS, including essential steps for new server setup and quick deployment of common open source projects for easy reference and practice.

1. Top 10 Must-Do Tasks After Getting a New VPS

Example: Use one-click scripts for quick system configuration/tool installation (please understand the script source and risks before executing in a trusted environment)

curl -sS -O https://kejilion.pro/kejilion.sh && chmod +x kejilion.sh && ./kejilion.sh

Tip: Before executing third-party scripts, it’s recommended to read the script content first or verify in a container/test machine; always try cautiously in non-production environments.
