I’m trying to understand what I need to do differently with the Ubuntu 20.04 server that is created with the Wordpress marketplace installation droplet compared to if I spin up an Ubuntu 20.04 droplet with nothing on it.
Normally, I follow this guide when I create a droplet: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-20-04
I’m going to do the Wordpress marketplace installation and I just need to understand what I need to do differently for basic server setup and security based on the above guide.
