Node.js Deployment

Steps to deploy a Node.js app to DigitalOcean using PM2, NGINX as a reverse proxy and an SSL from LetsEncrypt

1. Sign up for Digital Ocean

If you use the referal link below, you get $10 free (1 or 2 months) https://m.do.co/c/5424d440c63a

2. Create a droplet and log in via ssh

I will be using the root user, but would suggest creating a new user

var crypto = require('crypto')
  , fs = require('fs')

// Algorithm depends on availability of OpenSSL on platform
// Another algorithms: 'sha1', 'md5', 'sha256', 'sha512' ...
var algorithm = 'sha1'
  , shasum = crypto.createHash(algorithm)

// Updating shasum with file content
var filename = __dirname + "/anything.txt"
