I am asking this question because I do not treat the following as entirely disposable:
- IP addresses assigned to an existing droplet
- certificates issued by LetsEncrypt to a droplet
This begs the question “Should I treat the above as entirely disposable?”
If the answer to that question is “No”, then can I reuse an existing droplet that I created using a distribution, and instead install a one-click app to it. If so, how? (I know it is easy to do the opposite ).
