Node.js Deployment

Steps to deploy a Node.js app to Digital Ocean 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

error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object
