Asked by Khalifa Gad
I am new to digitalocean, And this is my first deployment to it, So I miss some information to make this deployment done.
I have created the digitalocean account, then created a droplet with ubuntu os, then generated a ssh token and uploaded an application which using node.js, prisma, mongodb and docker using sftp.
What I have to do next? Installing docker and docker-compose manually? Or I have to delete the droplet and build a new one using my docker-machine on my local machine? Or what ?.
