how to set domain name (django, nginx, ubuntu 16.04)
Now I use public ip to visit my site. I have bought a domain name (eviacatalog.net) on GoDaddy. How can I set it up so I visit my site with eviacatalog.net and not public IP?

This question was answered by @aha:
First, add your domain
eviacatalog.net
in the Networking > Domains settings of DigitalOcean.com cloud control panel. Make sure it is pointing to your droplet IP address.Next, you will need to change the Nameserver settings for your domain in the GoDaddy control panel.
Login to GoDaddy, click on your domain, go to the Manage > Nameservers section, select "Custom Nameservers" and add
ns1.digitalocean.com
,ns2.digitalocean.com
, andns3.digitalocean.com
to the nameserver fields.For more details see this tutorial - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars#registrar-godaddy
thank you! Now open my site but address change from eviacatalog.net to public IP when load.
How I fix that?
@ditsikts hmmm - when you open up a terminal and ping eviacatalog.net
it still points to a GoDaddy IP Address. It looks like either:
A) You didn't actually change the nameservers, but just told GoDaddy to redirect to your IP address or...
B) The DNS Nameserver change hasn't actually completed yet (sometimes it takes a while to change)
Are you sure you changed the nameservers to point to ns1.digitalocea.com
etc in GoDaddy control panel?
i had redirect but when I add nameservers, option for remove redirect not anymore there, has a lot less options.
I add nameservers but old nameservers didnt removed, doesnt seems to have option to remove
update: I check it out now and default nameservers removed and works fine.
