How I provision a new server#

Create a new server running Ubuntu. #
Log on via the Terminal app on the Mac.#
Install Node, Git and Forever per the instructions on the 1999-project setup page. #

Update: The version of Node that's installed using the instructions on the setup page won't accept "let", "const" etc. I use those in some of my packages. The instructions on this page show you how to get the latest version. #

Install Dropbox and the CLI app following these instructions. #
Create a folder in Dropbox for this server. Exclude all other folders:#

dropbox exclude add folder1 folder2#

Add apps to the folder for this server and run them in Forever.#
