1. Nginx requires a vhost similar to the default [laravel](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/deployment#nginx) one.
2. The script can ran on pretty much everything, but for hosting, we usually recommend [DigitalOcean](https://m.do.co/c/dec4efd6a4d7) servers.
3. If having less tech experience, we strongly recommend using a panel-based server. EG: cPanel/Cyberpanel.
