🔧 Technical assignment: Server setup on VPS (UltaHost)

I am looking for an experienced DevOps specialist for basic server configuration on UltaHost (Linux VPS Basic package) with HestiaCP control panel.

📌 Goal

Configure a VPS server to host a website on Node.js and related tools. I am a founder, not a DevOps. I work with a programmer who writes in Node.js but does not handle server-side setup. I need a specialist who will set everything up properly "turnkey" and provide clear instructions for further use.

⚙️ What needs to be done:

Install and configure:
- MySQL or MariaDB (by default, MariaDB comes with Ubuntu 24.04)
- phpMyAdmin — with access via domain (for example, phpmyadmin.example.com) or protected path
- FTP server — for manual file uploads (if needed — set up vsftpd or proftpd)
Configure Node.js:
- Ability to deploy sites on Node.js via HestiaCP or manually
- Set up launching one Node.js project at a specific address (domain)
  - Example: site1.example.com → runs Node.js application on localhost:3000 via reverse proxy
- Ensure auto-start (via systemd or PM2)
- Make it easy to add 1–2 more Node.js projects in the future
Configure SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt) through HestiaCP for all domains

💾 Conditions:

The server is already purchased and active: UltaHost VPS Basic (Linux, Ubuntu 24.04)
The HestiaCP control panel is already installed
Access via SSH and HestiaCP will be provided
The domain is registered (for example, example.com) and already pointed to the VPS IP

✅ Expected result:

Working server with installed components
One Node.js site accessible via domain
phpMyAdmin opens and connects to the database
Instructions (or voice message) with a brief explanation on how to:
- start/stop Node.js project
- add a new project
- work with the database
- perform basic diagnostics

💰 Budget: justified (ready to discuss)

I respond promptly in the WeLancer chat. If desired, we can discuss details via Zoom/Telegram.

Budget: 3000 UAH Deadline: 1 day

Hello! I am ready to fully set up a VPS turnkey: Node.js, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin through a separate domain, SSL, reverse proxy, automatic project startup via PM2 or systemd. I work with HestiaCP, Ubuntu 24.04 — I will do everything properly and stably.

I can also set up a simple CI/CD (for example, via GitHub + deployment script) to quickly update current projects without fuss.

After setup — I will provide clear instructions: how to manage projects, databases, add new sites, and perform basic diagnostics.

Write — we will discuss the details, I am ready to start even today.
