I have configured a Digital Ocean droplet as per the following guides:

• Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 16.04
• Install LAMP stack on Ubuntu 16.04
• Secure apache with let’s encrypt

In summary: I have a LAMP server, I have a domain pointed at my LAMP server, it is https now, and I can ssh into it with an account I created (not root) and it has things like UFW enabled.

Config:

My webroot lay at: /var/www/domain-name.com/public_html

• I can confirm that when I put an index.html file there, it works

What I’m trying to accomplish:

I want to use a webhook such that when a github repo receives changes to master branch, the hook pushes an update to my droplet. I want to be able to have multiple repos/sites, so think domain-name.com/project-1, domain-name.com/project-2, etc.

What I don’t want:

• many tutorials talk about pushing from local to DO. I don’t want to do this. I want to go from github to DO.

I have tried a number of tutorials which I am linking to below

• Portent - GitHub Auto-Deploy Setup Guide
• Behind Companies - simple script for deploy
• Digital Ocean Webhooks

None of these works for my situation, number 3 because I don’t want to go straight from local to droplet. First two for different reasons.

Any help would be appreciated.
