Awesome things to do with a VPS

You bought a VPS and you want to boost it? Here is an interesting list of things you can do!

Publish your personal website (blog or your CV).
Apache and WordPress is a perfect duo.
Setup a mail server with Dovecot and Postfix (part1, part2).
Access your mail from browser using Roundcube
Run a private cloud.
Nextcloud is not just a storage cloud but a powerful system with nice apps to install (bookmarks, notes, talk and chat, media streaming etc…)
Continuous integration and delivery: you can build your own apps with Maven or Gradle and If you are a CI&CD addicted there is only one solution: Jenkins to “Build great things at any scale“
Maven central or Gradle repo? Nah, it’s absolutely better a self-hosted artifact repository like Nexus
Deploy your Telegram bots. Here an introduction
Get your url shorter with URLHum: a simple PHP url shortener for everyday life
Web scraping and notification system: are you interested in updates from a specific website? Scrape it and get notified! Python guide
Interested in knowing when a website is down? Build your own notification system or run Huggin
Cronjobs for everything: your crontab has super powers, use them!
Boosted gaming with TeamSpeak: stay in contact with other players
Run a personal git server with Gitlab or Gogs (lighter then Gitlab)
