I would like to know if anybody has installed and used https://github.com/Hashnode/mern-starter on Digital Ocean. If there are any tutorials it would be great.
If not I will set it up and write a tutorial at a later stage :P

I saw your question this morning and decided to go ahead and install mern.io on a droplet so I could put together a simple guide.
The one roadblock I encountered is that the MongoDB installation instructions linked to by the mern.io github readme are out of date and do not support versions of Ubuntu newer than 14.04. This was easily corrected by using the details from our MongoDB on Ubuntu 16.04 tutorial.
I tested these steps this morning and was able to successfully get the mern.io demo app running.
Install MongoDB
Now start MongoDB
Install npm / Node from NodeSource*
Make sure we have npm3 as required by MERN
Install MERN
You should now have your environment ready to go. Available commands and more information can be found here
Does any one tried same mern.io sample application using docker compose ?
