Vibecoder Fullstack VPS Quick Start

Run through these steps to have a VPS with your domain attached to it and an instance of claude code ready to create any app that uses:

• a frontend (React + Next + Tailwind)
• an api (Node + Express)
• a database (Postgres)

1. Run this setup and harden script in a new clean Ubuntu 24.04 Hetzner VPS and make sure you set at least one SSH key for the creation of VPS as it will be only way to login after running this line:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarcoWorms/ubuntu-vps-harden/main/fullstack-harden.sh | sudo bash && sudo reboot

To connect with your Hetzner VPS use ssh with key: ssh root@VPS_IP_ADDRESS -i PATH/TO/SSH_KEY -p 22

2. Then reconnect to your VPS using the SSH key authorized in Hetzner dashboard, and run this line to install claude code and copy a initial CLAUDE.md and instructions for how to navigate and restart all services in our webserver:

cd / && curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarcoWorms/ubuntu-vps-hardened-fullstack-webserver/main/CLAUDE.md > CLAUDE.md && \
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code && \
echo "✅ Claude Code installed! Run 'claude' to start AI-assisted coding"

3. Then to run claude in completely unhinged vibe code mode use this:

export IS_SANDBOX=1; claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

4. Deploying into a domain:

   1. Buy a domain
   2. Create a Cloudflare account
   3. Set the Cloudflare DNS urls in your domain provider
   4. Create an A record in Cloudflare that points @ to your Hetzner server IP.
