Create and configure a Linux user on a cloud server

💡 Security Best Practices

Create separate Linux user on remote server (as you learned in Linux module)

▪ Every cloud platform configuration for their remote servers is different

▪ On droplet, per default you work with the "root" user

▪ Create a new "admin" user

▪ Using the "admin" user, create own users for each application you run (e.g. nexus, jenkins, my-app)

Give it only the permission it needs to run that application

Don't work with the root user!
