A fellow webdeveloper Chris Fidao [@fideloper](https://twitter.com/fideloper) on twitter, have made en awesome source, like a free Netflix for learning server administration [serversforhackers.com](https://serversforhackers.com) It’s a great source for learning - Server Security hardening - SSL Certificates (note that [letsencrypt.org](https://letsencrypt.org/) is coming, I’m sure he’ll make some videos about that in the future, this goes hand in hand with HTTP/2) - He also shows a handful of great ways to go about deployments - and how to properly handle PHP-FPM. Last but certainly not least he shows how to **install PHP 7** and how to **build the memcached extension** for it. This is the unicorn-butter for a crazy smooth running Kirby installation. To easily follow along, you can sign up for DigitalOcean through my referral link [digitalocean.com](https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=1226ce3f9e9e) to get $10 in credit -that’s two months worth of their smallest droplet. Anyways, go and subscribe to this nice guy [serversforhackers.com](https://serversforhackers.com) and send him a tweet telling him, he’s awesome! 👍 ---

Is that your DigitalOcean affiliate link? Just to make it all transparent. ---

Speaking of transparency, the original title of this post (before it got moderated) was “Because we suck at servers and you need PHP 7 (with memcached, TLS and HTTP/2 etc.)” though intentionally a bit longer, an direct analogy to Chris Coyers [“Let’s suck at Git together”](https://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/101-lets-suck-at-github-together/) to ease out that server administration and the command line, to many seems really hard and pretty scary. ---

Just to be clear: That title was totally alright, but I made it shorter and simpler to make it easier to understand and easier to find. 😄 ---

Yet, “How” is shorter than “Tutorials” 😏 Naaa don’t Kim Jong-un(do) the title again - just kidding, we’re good @lukasbestle 😍 ---
