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 ?.

Hello,
You don’t have to delete the droplet, you can just SSH to your existing droplet and follow the steps here on how to install Docker:

Hope that this helps! Bobby
Hi, Khalifa. I’m also new at digital ocean and I reach up to your question trying to solve the same. What do you do at last? What do you think is the best solution? I should build my containers again in the droplet or I should download them from any docker repo and simply start them at the droplet?
Typo? Dorplet in the title.
