This is great. Is there a clear “next steps” resource for taking this DDEV Drupal site and deploying it on a droplet or other DO service?

Hey Michael!
One straightforward way is to use the OpenLiteSpeed Drupal 1-Click Droplet from the DigitalOcean Marketplace:
It sets up a server with Drupal, PHP, MariaDB, and everything else ready to go. That way, you don’t have to configure everything from scratch. Just create the Droplet, log in over SSH, and follow the setup instructions it gives you the first time you connect. It also helps with setting up HTTPS if you’ve got a domain.
If you’d rather do it all manually or want a bit more control, you can spin up a regular Ubuntu droplet, install your stack (PHP, Nginx or Apache, MySQL), and then copy over your Drupal files and database from your DDEV project:
You can use
ddev export-db
to get a database dump andrsync
orscp
to move your files.Good luck with your project!
