How can I mimic Microsoft Azure auto Deployment on a Droplet?

Posted on July 7, 2014

Hello there, I am new to this world and want to learn/migrate to Digital Ocean.

On Microsoft Azure one can easily deploy an express server/site using the following terminal commands:

  • npm install -g azure-cli
  • azure account download
  • azure account import <FILE_PATH>
  • azure account list
  • azure account set <ACCOUNT_SHA>
  • azure site create <SITE_NAME> --git
  • git push azure master

This deploys your local project over to Microsoft Azure and runs live… I would love to do the same thing with Digital Ocean… Tips on how to achieve this would be most welcome.

Thank you
