I want to clone my droplet and you have answered that question now my second query is how my apps will work with the new droplet.
You can create a Snapshot of your Droplet and then use that Snapshot to deploy a new Droplet. In a sense, it’s like cloning, but there’s an extra step.
You might be interested in using a tool like Packer. It lets you automate the creation of snapshots with configuration files.
