First of all, using a physical server (not virtualized) is not a good idea, 
let me warn you:

   - a physical server is harder to upgrade: you have to wipe out the 
   entire system, install a new one and reinstall openwisp; with a virtualized 
   infrastructure you can prepare a new VM and switch when ready
   - keep in mind OpenWISP is designed to be connected to the internet and 
   have a public IP; it can work also in a local setting with no public IP, 
   but you will have some issues (you can't get a valid SSL cert, you can't 
   have an OpenVPN server where all the devices outside of the same l2 network 
   where OpenWISP is installed can connect to)
   - the performance penalty of using a virtualized system instead of a 
   physical server is so negligible that basically nowadays everyone runs 
   OpenWISP in a virtualized architecture (and sooner or later we will move to 
   a dockerized infrastructure)

That said, the procedure doesn't change, the steps are the same.
We assume the server has a linux distribution of the supported ones, has 
the network and OpenSSH server configured.
