Once logged in, follow the steps listed below:
- Find Appsmith from the DigitalOcean marketplace here.
- Click on the Create Appsmith Droplet button; this will redirect you to a new page where you can set up all your configurations.
For a base configuration, use the following settings.
Shared CPU: Basic
CPU Options: Regular Intel with SSD (1 GB CPU / 25GB SSD / 1000GB Transfer )
Data Center Region: (Choose the nearest location to your place)
Additional Options: IPV6 Enabled
- In the authentication section, you can either choose SSH or set up a password if you want to log in to your server.
- Lastly, click on the Create Droplet button.
It will take a few minutes (approximately 3-4 minutes) to install Appsmith on the DigitalOcean droplet. You’ll find the deployed droplet on your dashboard with all the details of the selected configuration.
To use Appsmith, copy the IPv4 address from the settings and open it in a new tab. This will take you to Appsmith’s login page. Since this is a new instance, click on sign up to create a new account on Appsmith.
SSH into your droplet and run the following command:
cd /root/appsmith && docker-compose pull && docker-compose rm -fsv appsmith && docker-compose up -d
