Guides.
Deeper than docs. More detailed than the blog. Full step-by-step instructions for common tasks — from deploying your first site to complex infrastructure.
The idea
Docs answer "how to do it". Guides answer "how to do it right". The difference is depth. Docs say: "To connect via SSH, run ssh root@IP". A guide explains: why SSH, how to generate a key, how to allow only keys on the server, how to store keys safely, what to do if a key is compromised.
Each guide — the full picture. From "why" to "how to verify it works".
