My project was using mysql and nodejs which I have successfully deployed on digital ocean server but now my application is growing and I have also used postgresql and geoserver in it. My problem is that Is there any solution to use geoserver on digital ocean server. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.5 x64 OS on digital ocean server.
Thanks in advance.

update apt-get and install java runtime environment (if you don’t have it)
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
make a new directory download the proper version from geoserver’s release page and unzip it then upload it to the folder you create on the droplet (eg platform independent stable release)
mkdir -p /usr/share/geoserver/
create environment variable, apply it
echo "export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/geoserver/" >> ~/.profile
. ~/.profile
give ownership rights to folder (replace <user> with proper ubuntu user)
sudo chown -R <user> /usr/share/geoserver/
add in any extensions you need to usr/share/geoserver/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/ folder then start the server from the bin folder
cd /usr/share/geoserver/bin
sh startup.sh
it should list a server success eventually and access it at http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ for more info see geoserver linux install directions
Hello, I follow these instructions, but now I’ve a SSL problem. I can’t use https://geoserver.mydomain.biz with common “Let’s Encrypt” SSL certificate. You can help me?
