windows/linux development server on droplets for 3 developers

Hello

Regarding the Windows quesiton, there has been a similar quesiton asked here:

Unfortunately at this time, we do not have native support for Windows OSs on Droplets. You may be able to achieve this however by creating your own custom Windows ISO image and then using that when creating your Droplet.

Currently, DigitalOcean only allows the deployment of Linux based OS’s.

NOTE: This is not natively supported on the platform (choosing a Windows OS when you deploy your droplet).

We’d recommend that you add your vote to the Windows Server idea on our Product Ideas Board as well as comment your use-case there so that our teams can better understand your needs.

For Linux, what you could do is to use the following tutorial on how to setup Visual Studio Code for Remote Development via the Remote-SSH Plugin:

That will allow multiple people to connect to the same server and make changes.

Hope that helps!

Heya,

At the moment Windows is not natively supported on Digital Ocean’s droplets, but you can spin up a Paperspace instance of Windows.

Paperspace is a cloud-based machine learning platform that offers GPU-powered virtual machines and a Kubernetes-based container service.

The Windows 10 licensed edition is the most popular. This template is technically a Server edition of Windows but looks and feels like a regular desktop operating system. Paperspace also offers an unlicensed version of Windows 10 (referred to as BYOL) which requires you bring your own Windows license.

Hope that this helps!
