My notes on setting up an ubuntu server

1. Generate key pair in PuttyGen. For Digital Ocean embed the key in the new droplet.
2. Set up Putty. Copy settings from another server profile and change port, keys, address.
3. Login as root Good resource for setup at Digital Ocean
4. Make new account
   adduser tt
5. Add to sudo group
   usermod -aG sudo tt
6. Change to user, make ssh dir

su - tt
mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
vim ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

7. Paste public key
8. chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
9. Change ssh settings
   sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   chage settings:

Compatibility with Putty and Tmux

Check if panes show lines instead of qqqqqxxxxx
Check if arrow keys work on prompt
Check to see F1 - F4 work (e.g. on htop)
Check to see if I can type Japanese directly into the terminal
