Cheat Sheet

VPS Utils includes shortcut commands for some common tasks, including setcap-netbind, 'vps-addswap', and 'myip'

setcap-netbind:

setcap-netbind will give the specified program the ability to listen on privileged ports, such as 80 (http) and 443 (https) without root privileges or sudo.

sudo setcap-netbind node

This is the same as running the full command:

setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' $(readlink -f $(which node))

myip:

Will output externally detected IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. See https://webinstall.dev/vps-myip.

myip
IPv4 (A)   : 136.36.196.101
IPv6 (AAAA): 2605:a601:a919:9800:f8be:f2c4:9ad7:9763

vps-addswap:

Adds and activates permanent swap in /var/swapfile. See https://webinstall.dev/vps-addswap.
