Hello, @hussaind
The Laravel marketplace app will speed the installation process for you
https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/laravel
Also, you can check the software that is installed and if it is suitable for your needs then you can use the marketplace application.
If you already have a running Laravel site that you want to migrate to DigitalOcean you can simply migrate it to on a fresh droplet instead of using the Marketplace Laravel Application.
If you require a control panel you can use the cPanel/WHM or Plesk, but it this is not a must, then you can simply spin up an Ubuntu droplet and then migrate your existing site.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
Hi @hussaind,
Each has advantages and you can install Laravel or cPanel/WHM to each. If you know how to configure your Laravel Project, I’ll go with th cPanel/WHM droplet rather than the other way around.
cPanel does need some configuring and installing Laravel will take up less time. Additionally, cPanel comes with all that a Laravel app might need so it would just be a matter of installing Laravel without having to install any services ( most probably).
