How to deploy Laravel in DigitalOcean Droplet

According to our experts, deploying Laravel in DigitalOcean Droplet consists of the following steps:

• Create a Digital Ocean Droplet for Laravel Hosting
• Initial Configuration to the Digital Ocean Droplet

Let’s take a look at these steps in detail.

1. First, we have to log in to our server and create a new user.
2. Next, grant administrator privileges to this new user.
3. Then, we have to enable and setup the server firewall. After that, we have to run the following commands to enable ports:

   ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow http
sudo ufw allow https
4. Now, we will install the required Software stacks on the server in order to run the LEMP stack.
5. Next, we will deploy the Laravel Project on the DigitalOcean server: This involves creating the folders as mentioned in the path while setting the Laravel project root path. Then we have to place our project within these folders.
6. After that, restart the Nginx server.
7. Now, we will try to access the Laravel application on the browser using the IP Address or Domain name depending on the configuration. If the process is successful we will see a 404 error page instead of the default Welcome Page.
8. After that, we have to install Composer and GIT on the DigitalOcean droplet.
9. The next step involves setting up GIT Post-Receive hook to move files or merge changes.
10. Then, we will connect the development computer to production.
11. After that, we have to verify the git hook worked and then install Laravel via the composer.
12. Now, we will grant the required Linux folder permission for Laravel Project.
13. Then, we have to create .env file and configure Laravel.
