I gave Claude Code my server IP and it set up everything — Node.js, Next.js, nginx, systemd — from one prompt. No SSH. No config files. No 30-step tutorials. Just one sentence and a fully deployed website. In this video, I start with a completely fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VPS on Hetzner (nothing installed) and let Claude Code SSH in and handle the entire setup: → Install Node.js 22 + nginx → Create a Next.js app from scratch → Set up systemd service with auto-restart → Configure nginx reverse proxy → Make the site live on the server IP → Even update the homepage heading and redeploy All from my Mac terminal. I didn't SSH into the server once. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - The result (site is live) 0:15 - The problem with manual VPS setup 0:30 - Starting with a blank server 0:55 - Giving Claude Code SSH access 1:30 - Installing Node.js and nginx 2:15 - Creating and building Next.js app 3:00 - systemd service + nginx reverse proxy 3:45 - Site is live — moment of truth 4:15 - Changing the homepage remotely 4:45 - Should you use this for production? 🔗 RESOURCES → Claude Code: https://claude.ai/code → Hetzner VPS: https://hetzner.com 📺 RELATED VIDEOS → I Control My Server from Telegram with AI: https://youtu.be/Jdsat09xf5I → Claude Code Tutorial for Beginners: https://youtu.be/9TP1EWtedpY → Claude Code Remote Control from Phone: https://youtu.be/jGo1JI2uf0E 📝 BLOG POST → https://ayyaztech.com/blog/claude-code-vps-setup-one-prompt 💬 Let me know in the comments if you want to see SSL, domain setup, and CI/CD with Claude Code next! #ClaudeCode #VPS #DevOps #AI #WebDevelopment #NextJS #nginx #Hetzner #Programming
