Tutorial request on deployment on DigitalOcean

[shinokada]

I just wanted to request a tutorial or doc page on deployment especially DigitalOcean.

Good suggestion @shinokada! This is in our plans: we are going to publish an article (https://blog.strapi.io/p/cd1ad84c-1ca5-409d-be05-fb06bca4e8c5/) and add it in the documentation this week.

Great! The blog article, Building a static blog using Gatsby and Strapi was very useful for me. I'd like to see using a slug for a URL.

In the new blog, it says,

Import the public key:

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6

Is this correct? 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6 should be different for each laptop?

Are there any changes in heroku variant?

[pierreburgy]

@shinokada yes, it should work. Did you have any issue with that?

@ArkhipovK to use Heroku, you only need to set your database configuration in Heroku environment variables and update the port config in your Strapi project:

Path: config/environments/production/server.json:

{
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": "${process.env.PORT || 1337}",
  "autoReload": {
    "enabled": false
  },
  "cron": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}

Btw @Aurelsicoko, shouldn't we update the generators to set this value by default?

@pierreburgy thanks for reply, but what if i have pipe to heroku from bitbucket, and bitbucket repo does not include node_modules. So i suppose i have to run some command or script to rebuild them first. What is the proper action now?

[pierreburgy]

@ArkhipovK Heroku will automatically detect that your app is a Node.js app and then, will install the node modules.

The tutorial has been published: https://medium.com/@strapi/how-to-deploy-a-strapi-api-on-ubuntu-16-04-17f8fbbf5c5b, so I am closing the issue.

Thanks again for your suggestion!
