General Recommendations
  • Enable SSL on your site! Get a free cert at LetsEncrypt

    • Their free tool Certbot makes this process virtually painless
  • Linux server running Apache or Nginx is preferred

  • Shell access is recommended. While it is likely possible to install this library without shell access (such as on a shared web hosting provider), this is unsupported. It's highly recommended that you instead opt for a VPS provider such as DigitalOcean that allows you root shell access

  • Run mysql_secure_installation on server prior to app installation

  • Host your database on an encrypted filesystem

  • File/directory permissions should be locked down to an appropriate level
