Hi,
I’ve installed the the MEAN-stack droplet. And connected via ssh root@ I’ve searched the web how to get started once the MEAN-stack is installed but i don’t seem to find anything useful.
Currently I’ve a MEAN-stack running locally on my computer and I want to push everything to the “web-page”.
I’m trying to figure out where to put the javascript files (both for front and back-end)? And how can I see if it works or not?
It’s hard to ask precise questions because I really don’t understand. But I really hope you can point me in the right direction.

I have an app running on a port other than :80 but i can’t seem to access it. do i need to change some firewall settings or other rules with this droplet?
FWIW I know the app is running.
or do i need to bind to a specific host/port on startup other than just PORT=3000 node app.js ?
Once you log in to your droplet, you should see the MOTD message with some details on how your droplet is set up.
MEAN is installed in /opt/mean, you can use FileZilla or any other SFTP client to transfer your application to your droplet.
The default application is configured to start a webserver when running grunt (cd /opt/mean and grunt).
Or better yet, use something like dploy.io and configure it up to a git repo. Commit & push, wait a bit, refresh. Changes now live. Wee.
