Every time I'm interested in learning something, you magically publish a video on exactly that subject... It's at the point where its getting scary now! Love your channel mate!

You are the man Brad. I've completed your React/Node course, and now when I began looking at setting up a server on Digital Ocean, your video was the first I found. Really simple to get everything setup following this video. I thought it was much more complicated. Thank you!

[bilza]

Its been 7 years and no one - i say agaon no one has a better tutorial on the subject. I guess some people are just blessed

[Lazrs]

Super cool to watch Brad when starting my first full stack project, only to come back months later to deploy it and have brad guide me along the way again. Thank you for your videos

[Kco]

wow this video saved my life! I've been researching about this for a while, I got stuck with SSH part, now with your video, everything is clear to me! thanks man!

[alexandros-markovits]

Brad you are a life saver! I had two days for a sudden deadline to deploy and this step by step really saved me! Thank you man... I was trying to deploy a Nuxt app through Dokku as suggested in it's documentation but i was stuck with the ssh ( through windows... ), the support hasnt helped for 5 hours now ( might have been a noob error or something ) so i tried your way with clean ubuntu and it worked after a couple minor things... Thanks man...

Amazing. I liked the way you provided apart from the topic, you provided more information and demonstrated what would be the result if certain things were not done. That's what is called: TEACHING. I do love your videos, but this one is simply the best I've watched.

I would appreciate to have more topics around deployment on digital Ocean especially for databases in the case of a mobile App hosted on any store.

Thanks again.

for those following this in 2023, "sudo systemctl reload ssh" worked for me instead of "sudo systemctl reload sshd". and as always, thank you so much Brad

[bismiksm]

Man, you just made it happen!!!! Thank you so much to initiate me to server administration!!! I just mention that i followed your tutorial to deploy on another hosting company with a mac and it works!!!! Best regards!!! Max

Great video. A request: could you do a video about installing a dedicated mongodb server, which can be used as remote server? The catch with these kind of server is the authentication / security.

[TrueRuthlessGaming]

Great video! got my site up and running!

[ScottSpencePlease]

Thanks for this Brad, still relevant two years later!! 🙏
