Hello,
I am hosting multiple websites in a single NGINX server with the below directory structure;
/var/www
webiste-1
html
index.php
website-2
html
index.php
I’m using an account with sudo privileges. Now, I would like to add another user that needs to upload files inside the html folders.
What would be my best option here?
TIA
Hello,
you can create a new sudo user.
To create one, follow these steps:
Create the user:
sudo adduser testusername
Set and confirm the new user’s password at the prompt. I would suggest to use a strong password :
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
After you’ve confirmed the password, you’ll be asked to provide information like Full Name, Work Phone etc. You can skip those.
Once the user has been completed, you can add it to the sudo group using the usermod contact:
usermod -aG sudo testusername
By default, on Ubuntu, members of the sudo group have sudo privileges.
Once this is done, to test if everything has been configured correctly, you can switch as the user
su testusername
and try something like
sudo ls -lah /var
