We have existing Droplet using Drupal CMS & need to set up another instance of the site for staging version. Looking for best workflow to do so.

How did you setup your existing droplet? What Continuous Integration service do you use? Do you use docker?
I use gitlab, gitlab-ci,docker and ansible to setup muliple environments including review, staging and production it all depends on your .gitlab-ci.yml file and how you do deployments to different environments.
One more thing: I create a dynamic review environment for each branch we push except master and use staging environment for master, finally the production deployment is triggered when we push version tags.
Hope this helps.
