There’s a one-click image for WordPress that will install a LAMP Stack plus one WordPress instance.

DigitalOcean Control Panel -> Create Droplet -> One-click apps -> WordPress 4.7

Hi @geeber05

If you rebuild your droplet, it deletes/removes permanently everything on the droplet and then does a installation of the selected operating system.

Unless you have all your data somewhere else - or you have backups activated in the control panel, then you have lost everything.

@geeber05

When you rebuild a Droplet, it’s wiped clean, meaning you’ll need to start from scratch and create the directories and files that you need, or upload them.

I would recommend taking a look at the following guide:
