So reading some posts on extensions I am using and so on I saw @luceos mentioning he used Laravel Forge for all his vps's and I gave it a try and I must say it really does simplify things a ton when it comes to setting up daemons and things of that nature. I'm glad I read that comment from him as I have used it to spin up another VPS and I am moving over to it. The only thing I wish it has was a GUI option for viewing and editing files but I am really starting to learn SSH. Not only does it install things like Redis and Memcached for you as well as NGINIX and a SQL database server (either mySQL or MariaDB) it just makes things so much easier. Plus it's so much cheaper than Plesk. Thanks for mentioning this luceos.
