Interested in running your own Linux server and curious about where to get started? This article guides you step-by-step with creating a new virtual machine in VirtualBox and installing a minimal server based on Debian 10, codenamed “buster”. It can serve as an ideal foundation for all your Linux server experiments and installations. The created Debian server will have 2 GB RAM, 2 CPUs and 20 GB disk space. This is comparable to an entry level online Virtual Private Server (VPS).
