NodeJS Essentials 45: Deploying to Digital Ocean

[mpilodlamini]

I procrastinated launching my web app and deploying to Digital Ocean for years cos I found all this intimidating. Thanks to this video tutorial I have successfully deployed my Node API. Thank you very much for this.

Just a quick note, in order to install nginx, I had to run 'sudo apt update
', then 'sudo apt install nginx'. Thanks for the video! Super helpful!

I don't understand why I'm so scared to put something online... I'm always unsure if this is the current way to set up or if I might be missing something. There's SSL and CI which I'm not really familiar with but I read everywhere that they're quite mandatory. /sigh

for the lazy ones:
```
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
```

5:04 can a droplet just shut down and restart? Does this actually happen? That would break my application. I need it running uninterrupted.

Can someone please clarify this for me: Is the server on your device- in a sense that if you turn off your device, the virtual machine (which is the server) will turn off and thos the server goes offline....Basically do I need a spare PC to do this? or is everything handle on Digital ocean

This only explains how to install and configure Nginx to show the website. Nothing on deployment.
