Stop struggling with open source installations. If you've ever tried to deploy software from GitHub onto your own server — only to get stuck in dependency hell and documentation nightmares — this video is for you.

I'm showing you the exact workflow I used to install Focalboard (an open source Notion/Trello alternative) on a fresh DigitalOcean Ubuntu server using Claude Code. No more hours of troubleshooting. No more giving up and going back to proprietary platforms.

What you'll learn:
• How to set up a DigitalOcean droplet from scratch
• Installing and authenticating Claude Code on a remote server
• The critical mistake I made (research remotely vs. locally)
• Why giving Claude Code root access on an empty server is actually fine
• The simple workflow that makes ANY open source installation easier

The process is surprisingly simple:

1. Create Ubuntu server on DigitalOcean
2. SSH into your server
3. Install Claude Code
4. Give it the GitHub repo URL
5. Let AI handle the rest

This changes everything for self-hosting enthusiasts who want to ditch proprietary software but don't have time to master Linux system administration.
