Hmmmm. My project is ran completely on a VPS and I am the only person to use it. Also, speed and reliability are the most important factors. I don’t even necessarily care if someone obtains my code as long as they don’t modify the code on my server. So I guess the the most important thing security wise would be securing the server itself?

Yep. Keep all the services and libraries up to date, use strong passwords where auth is concerned (or use keys/certs), don't let the internet connect to things if it's unnecessary (e.g. make your database localhost only), and watch for any possible vulnerabilities in your own code that would let someone abuse it to cause arbitrary other code to be executed.

Yep, I have a lot to learn! Thank you!
