Ops for Devs
summary
Walks through registering nodefriends.club for $0.88, spinning a DigitalOcean droplet, adding the NodeSource PPA and apt-installing Node, git and nginx, cloning an app and running it as user www-data on port 3000, then using nginx reverse proxy to serve ports 80/443. DNS propagation typically completes in minutes (uploader notes up to 48 hours). Covers process management options (systemd, pm2), automation via provider API, and the same basic setup used for gruntjs.com — the demo succeeds end-to-end.
