v-server-setup

V-Server as my first Project at the Developer Akademie

In this project, a secured virtual server was set up with SSH key authentication, and the NGINX web server was installed to display a customized HTML start page. Additionally, Git was configured and connected to GitHub via SSH for secure repository management.
