Hello! What would be the best choice for hosting a .NET 6 Web API project on digitalocean:
- Hosting as a Droplet (using a template or manually installing Docker, nginx and managing the server)?
- Using the App platform to deploy a docker image?
The project only requires a way to host it as a web app (uses AzureSQL as a database). I would like to have the easiest way to manage the app (meaning fastest way to push updates and maybe not having to deal with server management stuff). I can create a docker image from the source files and let docker build the app or load the binaries as well. The app only required port 80 and 443. I need to setup HTTPS.
Can I do this with the App platform? Host the app with my own docker image and with an ssl certificate (let’s encrypt is enough)?
