How to create a staging server?

Posted on April 19, 2020

New to DigitalOcean. I want to create a development / staging server for my Saas app before launch. I need to work on it remotely. How should I do that?

Using Linux, Laravel, MySqL, JS.

This is ridiculous. Site moderators didn’t even know what a staging server is.

Hi @vincej,

Firstly, you’ll need to create a droplet with a LAMP stack - Apache,MySql,PHP. You can use the following article to achieve that :

Once you have it, you should be able to use a program like Visual Studio Code alongside SSHFS to connect remotely to your laravel project and develop it.
