  2. Update DNS to point to VPS: python3 scripts/hostinger.py dns update domain.com records.json
  3. SSH to VPS and deploy, OR use Docker: python3 scripts/hostinger.py docker deploy <vm_id> mysite --file docker-compose.yml

Secure a VPS

  1. Create firewall: python3 scripts/hostinger.py firewall create "web-server"
  2. Add rules for SSH, HTTP, HTTPS
  3. Activate: python3 scripts/hostinger.py firewall activate <fw_id> <vm_id>

Backup Before Changes

  1. Create snapshot: python3 scripts/hostinger.py vps snapshot-create <vm_id>
  2. Make changes
  3. If needed, restore: python3 scripts/hostinger.py vps snapshot-restore <vm_id>
