Deploying from GitHub to a droplet

Asked by Sam Hobbs
I want to deploy websites from GitHub to my droplet. I have deployed from GitHub to other hosts, such as IBM Cloud, Netlify and Cloudflare Pages. Most big hosts such as them make it relatively easy to set up the GitHub Action. I have tried to find a relevant article for DigitalOcean Droplets but cannot find much. I would try to post links to the two articles I found but since I am new I might not be able to post the links.
I prefer to not use Docker for this but I know that it is so common to use Docker that most articles would do that.
At the moment I have just a static website with just HTML and CSS in my droplet, hosted by Nginx. I intend to deploy ASP.Net Core applications into my droplet. I currently have a few ASP.Net Core Blazor WebAssembly sites in Cloudflare Pages. I also have an ASP.Net Core application in Netlify that I want to move into my droplent.
