Hi All New to this kind of platform, used to developing apps locally! Im setting up our WP Devs to use VSCode server to keep things all in one place and reduce the risk of data breaches. Ive got my first VSCode server setup and running and I can login and view / use the editor. Great! Im running that on sub.domain.com, but what URL would I use to view the wordpress site running? Editing code is one thing, but need to see the site. Thanks

Hi there,
In order to be able to access your WordPress website you would need to configure your web server and PHP installations.
You need to make sure that you have followed this tutorial here:
Once you have Apache and PHP and MySQL up and running, you should be able to access your WordPress site as normal via the domain name that you’ve specified in the Apache Virtual Host.
Let me know how it goes and if you have any specific questions!

Heya,
In order to see your website, you’ll need to have a WebService like Apache or Nginx.
I’ll recommend Apache as it works easier with WordPress. You can check the following article on how to do that:
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

You can spin up a WordPress droplet using our marketplace image (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-wordpress-one-click-install) or manually configure a LAMP/LEMP droplet by following one of these tutorials and then access the WordPress site using the subdomain as desired.
