Checklist and tips for server setup
My Checklist And Tips For Server Setup:
If I want to work with a server with more than 4GiB of ram and I know that there will be many use cases for that server, I will go with Debian Linux. It is true and tested, stable and has good community support and resources for server use cases.
If the server is limited on resources, and it will be used for specific things like only containerization or only a single service, I will go with Alpine Linux. It is super lightweight and the package manager apk is so fast, it's unbelievable.
