- Actually the basic SmartVPN setup requires 2 VPS servers with Debian 7
- Get at least basic accounts on Rollbar and NewRelic to monitor service
- Get an account at Mandrill and Mailchimp, for transactional emails and newsletter companies
- Prepare accounts at ROBOKASSA and Webmoney to receive payments
- Use some Unix based OS on your desktop, to run Chef Solo and Knife solo gem.
Be carefull, OpenVPN can work without additional setting only on XEN/KVM VPS. OpenVZ VPS can require additional tuning.
