Installing nodejs, nginx, and ghost on Digital Ocean Droplet
Week of November 10, 2013
- networksolutions.com
-- buy a domain name.
- digitalocean.com
-- create an account
-- purchase the $5 per month Droplet.
--- I used Ubuntu Linux.
-- Digital Ocean will e-mail the username and password for the Linux server. This info is used to log into the server with SSH.
-- while logged into the Digital Ocean dashboard:
--- click DNS and add the domain name purchased above. the domain name will be associated with the droplet created, but also need to add the domain name to the DNS setting.
--- add the Digital Ocean name servers to the Network Solutions account for the domain name.
- log into the Digital Ocean server and change the password.
- have root access to the server.
- it's clean, simple, bare-bones Linux install.
- need to install gcc.
- need to install unzip.
- need to isntall curl.
Installing Node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install curl
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
(this step takes a while)
make install
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
node -v
(returns v0.10.21)
Installing Nginx
http://0v.org/installing-ghost-on-ubuntu-nginx-and-mysql
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo mkdir /var/cache/nginx
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/cache/nginx
sudo mkdir /var/www
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www
vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
(Delete everything and replace it with the text below.)

}
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
(Now you need to edit the contents and replace everywhere it says YOUR_DOMAIN with your actual domain like example.com.)
(You can now restart nginx:)
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
