In this tutorial we'll take a look how to add a new user in a Linux environment, in particular a DigitalOcean droplet and then make sure the new user can access the server with an SSH key by making sure they have the approopriate public key.
We'll also make sure the user has sudo access so they can perform tasks with elevated privileges.

Hey could you make video on how to deploy multiple node apps on ubuntu.

[@codewithbubb]

Sure, do you mean hosting multiple node apps under one domain/ip or the actual deployment (or both)?

I did a video to answer your question here: How to Host Multiple Node Apps with nginx and pm2

@@codewithbubb you're welcome, i wonder where can i get Linux commands documentations, is there a good site for that

[@codewithbubb]

I think it's probably one of those things when you need to use a command you end up Googling. I think if you search for 'Linux cheat sheet' you'll probably get some useful lists to get you familiar with some common commands.

4:37,what is the chown command hidden by you plz

[@gehtdichnichtsan5576]

chown -R george:george .ssh/

[@redwakawaka]

also wondering

[@sumukhbharadwaj8882]

In case anyone's still wondering: chown -R username:username ~/.ssh

[@TB7530]

Thanks for the vid. chown -R yields invalid group

[@codewithbubb]

Thanks very much. What was the full command you were running? Chances are either the user doesn't exist or the group doesn't exist.

@@codewithbubb chown -R natixis:natixis .ssh/ I just created the user.
