Tips & tricks for getting along DigitalOcean
-
When getting started first begin with the initial server setup.
-
Once done with this maybe you'd like to work using GUI so try setting up a VNC client
-
Now you would want to deploy some web applications on your server, so you would need to setup Nginx
-
Setting up Nginx is not enough, you also need to secure Nginx.
-
Nodejs is one of the most popular web development framework so you might want to create and deploy first node.js application.
-
Now you might also want to install git for version control.
-
You can also opt to setup gitlab if you have enough RAM on your instance (512MB is not enough).
