This is a brief guide about deploying your code from sourceLair to DigitalOcean. It requires you to have already a project on sourceLair.

Steps

1. Put sourceLair public keys to DigitalOcean

The first step is to install your sourceLair public key to your DigitalOcean server. To do that, log into your DigitalOcean server and then run the following command curl https://keys.lair.io/<username>/install | bash

2. Create git and site directories on your server

In order to get our code working on our DigitalOcean server, we will need one directory to keep our files and one to keep our git data. For that reason, we will use our terminal to navigate to our home folder (cd ~) and then create our directories (mkdir app app.git).

3. Initialize empty git repository

Now we will initialize an empty git repository in the app.git directory, by running git init --bare app.git in the terminal.

4. Add a post-receive hook

Now we have to add a post receive hook, in order to deploy the latest pushed code to our DigitalOcean server. We will do that in two steps

i. Create the hook file

echo "#! /bin/sh\ git --work-tree=/home/user/app --git-dir=/home/user/app.git checkout -f" > app.git/hooks/post-receive

ii. Make the hook file executable

chmod +x app.git/hooks/post-receive

5. Add DigitalOcean remote

Next, you have to add a new Git remote in order to be able to push your code to your DigitalOcean server.

6. Push to DigitalOcean from sourceLair

I will! He will be an interesting addition to my collection
