Oh man, I'm sorry! I totally dropped the ball on mobile - I'm going to push a responsive design right now. Sorry Justin! EDIT: Updated, should work great on mobile devices now
If you like this article, I wrote a similar one called Devops for Dummies. http://tech.pro/tutorial/1335/devops-for-dummies-vps-configu... It teaches you how to setup a DigitalOcean (or any other) VPS from scratch to host N amount of Rails applications using Nginx and Passenger. It took me some time to get things working properly and I distilled it into this short article that holds your hand and takes you from A to…
One thing I would recommend is searching for deals on LowEndBox[1] blog. Most of the popular VPS's are ridiculously overpriced compared to what you can find on LowEndBox. It's a good site to get advice and reviews of various VPS providers, too. [1] - http://www.lowendbox.com/
" nginx (pronounced engine-x). " I have literally never heard anyone call it that.
How on earth else would you pronounce it? Now, lighttpd, on the other hand ...
Not the most elegant, but it rolls of the tongue relatively well and nobody who was familiar with nginx has ever been confused.

Right but if you are modifying and existing server, then this needs to be taken into account. We have several servers who are constantly serving connections and we can't have any of them drop otherwise it will result in a poor user experience. I just wish the article talked about using reload as well as restart and when to use them.
Me as well. I always use reload but I don't really know how it works. Does it maintain the old and new configs and drops the old after the last connection using it is complete?
[1] On FreeBSD, we just use `killall -HUP nginx` to reload; your distro will probably send HUP to the master process' PID
I think the sites-available is a debianism, not present on all distros. One nice thing that nginx supports is include directives with wildcards so you can e.g. have /srv/example.com/nginx.conf and /srv/api.example.com/nginx.conf and include them in the main configuration file with include /srv/*/nginx.conf.
I've always wanted to use nginx to build web apps in Lua .. does anyone know/can recommend any great tutorials with this in mind? It'd be nice if I could learn how to use nginx+lua to build a blog, and so on .. I'll use google, but on the off chance someone on HN knows of something already, I'm all ears ..

With sudo and only keys based access, the attacker will need to get a copy of the key (barring any new problems with key generation, like the Debian ssl bug) and the password needed for sudo access (or the root password, for su -).
As other's have said, use visudo (possibly with "EDITOR=nano visudo) -- to avoid leaving your sudoers file in a broken state.
An as others mentioned -- make sure you can login and sudo before you log out of the root shell...

Disabling root login without changing to using ssh-keys for authentication doesn't really buy you a whole lot of security; you can still access the box and root with knowing just one password -- the only thing you've avoided are brute force attempts against the root account. With sudo and only keys based access, the attacker will need to get a copy of the key (barring any new problems with key generation, like the De…
