Digital Ocean Setup

[Advocatus]

Before installing PrestaShop on Digital Ocean Droplet, do you firstly need to install Ubuntu, then install LAMP and then install phpMyadmin to manage the database? Is this all that needs to be done before uploading the PrestaShop files?

 

Clarification around the installation setup would be much appreciated.

Hi there,

 

Yes you are right. You need to install web server and other programs so called LAMP stack before installing Prestashop. However you will not install Ubuntu since Digital Ocean Droplets come with OS installed, I believe. You will choose which OS to run before starting with Droplet. In case there is no OS, then yes, you will install Ubuntu first.

 

Here are the links to key steps:

If you are going to do it yourself, I may send full list of Linux commands that I run before installing Prestashop on my Ubuntu for you, just for your reference.

Hi Everyone,

has anyone experience with installing PrestaShop with a already present codebase as an App in Digital Ocean, or as a Container in Kubernetes on Digital Ocean?

Any information appreciated.

Cheers,

Alex
