Deploying a Progressive Web App (PWA) on DigitalOcean is pretty similar to deploying a traditional Angular app with few additional steps. PWAs need a service worker file for offline capabilities which Angular CLI can generate for you using the ng add @angular/pwa command.
Make sure you properly adjust the ngsw-config.json file for caching strategies. Build your project with ng build --prod which creates a production version of your app, including your PWA service worker.
After that, you deploy the /dist output as you normally would. It’s important to ensure your server correctly handles fallback routing and sets the appropriate cache headers for your service worker file.
Hope that this helps!
