Virtual Private Server (Automated Script)

With this tutorial, you can install PickBazar to any type of blank or empty ubuntu server. For example, Digital Ocean Droplets, Amazon Lightsail, AWS, Google Cloud Virtual Private Server, Azure Ubuntu Virtual Private Server, etc.

If you want to use all the scripts (shop, admin, api) on the same server as this tutorial, then we recommend creating a blank ubuntu-based (v20.0.4 lts) server with at least 2+ CPU cores and 2GB+ memory.

Please follow this video with the documentation, and it'll make the installation process relatively easy.
