Migrating Drupal 8 to DigitalOcean

This is a quick guide on how to get a D8 site running on DigitalOcean

1. Spin up a D8 droplet
2. ssh into the IP address assigned: ssh root@IPADDRESS

3. Install PHP 7.x

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install php7.1-fpm php7.1-curl php7.1-gd php7.1-xml php7.1-mysql
   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/drupal

4. Once in the nginx hosts file change the following

   #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
   fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;

5. reboot the server or restart nginx, either or works.
6. If you are deploying a repo from github, add a ssh key with: ssh-keygen -t rsa and paste the public key into the repos → settings → deploy keys section.  reboot the server.
