Move an app out of a temporary terminal session. Define a dedicated user, working directory, environment file, restart behavior, and logs, then verify the service safely.
Upload a local HTML and CSS site to a safe web directory, install Caddy, configure the domain, validate the configuration and publish without exposing a development server.

A server option I use for early-stage projects: get the site running first, then decide whether to upgrade from real monitoring data.
The channel I use for GPT and Codex membership needs. Review it only when free access or an existing plan no longer covers the work.
