How to make a WordPress website running on a Linux webserver – Part 1

Hey guys!

Welcome to another tutorial of Just Some Tech. In this tutorial you will learn how to create your own webserver :0 running on Linux inside a datacentre. Linux is a common used OS on servers because its stable, a small amount of errors, most of the time very small footprint, fast & secure. I like to use Debian and I will also use that in this tutorial, but you can use whatever you like to.

In the first few parts of these tutorials I will talk the most about the webserver that will be running WordPress. After that we will talk about domains, logo’s and other things you need before you start. And later on in the other parts, I will get more into the WordPress CMS itself; plugins, themes, users & ofcourse the Gutenberg editor.
