Project description:
"I’m building a prototype mobile app that will store and retrieve user data, and I need a freshly configured Ubuntu VPS to serve as its backend. I’ll purchase whichever VPS plan you recommend; once it’s provisioned, your job is to turn it into a working environment with the current (non-LTS) release of NodeJS and a MySQL instance ready for connections from the app.

Here’s what I need from you:
• Install and verify the latest NodeJS (current channel) with npm/yarn available system-wide.
• Set up MySQL, create an empty database, and hand over the root credentials plus a non-root user for the app.
• Apply sensible security basics—SSH hardening and a firewall are more than enough since I have no formal compliance requirements.
• Give me a short README or screen share that shows the versions installed, the connection strings, and a quick “Hello World” endpoint so I can confirm everything is running.

That’s it—straightforward server groundwork so I can move on to coding the API itself. Let me know what VPS specs you’d like me to buy and any other details you need to get started." (client-provided description)
