- I can access the droplet ports. eg. Apache server of the droplet by typing 10.8.0.1
- I can access my local pc with the droplet eg. ping local pc with IP 10.8.0.2
- I need my local PC to be available on the public through port 8080

Hello,
There are a couple of ways, I think.
Firstly, what comes to mind is for you to forward your 8080 port through your router. Which depending on the router can be a little harder.
Second option would be to use a program called ngrok. Assuming your application listens on port 8080, run ngrok in command line with this command:
ngrok.exe http 8080
``
ngrok will start port forwarding immediately.
