The steps I take to deploy my NodeJS app to my DigitalOcean server
- git push to my github repo
- git pull to my droplet space
- npm start to start my server
surely it will be better to make these steps a bit automated
but there’s more bad issue
the server takes about 30 minutes to reflect my updates
so I have to wait about 30 minutes to see my updates (so bad)
even when I turn off my droplet , my browser still render the website normally
it looks take the same 30 minutes to see that the server is closed !!
