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.
