Power up with new SaaS Add-Ons from the DigitalOcean Marketplace

Question

Newbie question regarding best practice for setting up workflow

  • Posted April 2, 2014

Very new to Linux and Cloud Hosting. Have done websites from hosting providers for asp.net, php, Windows hosting.

I set up my droplet per instructions. What I’d like to do is set up a similar Ubuntu VM on my work and home computer that mirrors the exact configuration on the droplet.

Basically: LAMP stack Laravel (for web pages) BitBucket (for checking in files, and checking out files on droplet)

I have the VM set up on my work computer. I have the droplet. I’m learning about installing packages (very different world for me).

Two questions:

  • Is this a reasonable workflow? Is there a better workflow?
  • Is there a GUI option? I know Putty works for command line, but is there an option to have a graphical interface to my droplet?

Thanks for any insight.

Your workflow sounds fine to me. <br> <br>The Digital Ocean community doesn’t recommend installing a panel (cpanel, zpanel, etc). You also should ditch Putty and use Xshell, which is free for educational and home use. <br> <br>http://www.netsarang.com/download/down_xsh.html
