I have used all the meta tags exactly as described in the facebook Open Graph Documentation but still I get unexpected results when I debug my URL: "http://139.59.14.115/" with facebook Sharing Debugger. I searched a lot but couldn't find any correct solution to my problem.

    In checking the link you provided I am seeing the default nginx page. If that is not what is expected you'll need to make sure to delete the index.html file in /usr/share/nginx/html

    What "unexpected results" are you getting? Is there an error message? The more information you can share the better we'll be able to help

In addition to what @ryanpq already said, one important thing to know about the Facebook Sharing Debugger is that it will cache results from links already shared on Facebook. As your Droplet may have an IP address that was previously shared, it may still have information from that old Droplet. So remember to click the "scrape again" button!
