# Non-scripted stuff:
#
# - Create a droplet
#   - For goodness sake use ssh keys not emailed passwords
# - DNS records
#   - This will take the longest so do it first
# - Security
#   - [First 5 minutes on a server][fivemin]
#     - You may have to [upgrade the kernel][upgradekernel]
# - SSH config
#   - Add some ssh configs
# - Follow ubuntu-setup.sh
