DigitialOcean Nginx Website Setup ( Virtual Hosts )

These are the configuration files for an Ubuntu 20.04 Droplet on Ubuntu. The end results is a custom Nginx Server with HTTP2 & SSL Certificates for each website on a droplet.

Here is how I typically setup a new server:

Multiple NPM Accounts on Single Machine

Create Custom NPM Config

If you do not already have a local ~/.npmrc file, you need to create one.

Open a terminal window
Run npm login

Long Term Prep

By no means am I an expert on this stuff, but I have been doing basic research on this from year to year and have been trying to keep up with "best practices". I started this "prepper" stuff back in St. Louis, MO as we lived on a fault line and we were well past due for a major earthquake ( by 100+ years actually ). So I felt kind of stupid not being ready if it was a pretty good bet that at some point in my life, I was going to meet a natural disaster.

Something important to note, is that I did not just drop a bunch of money on this all at once. I just slowly accumulated things over the past 6-8 years. I figured if I budgeted about max of $250 a year on preparation stuff, I would only need to do that for a few years before I could have a pretty decent nest egg.

My primary focus was based purely on how I live my life, which is that I mainly work from home with my wife, and when I am traveling, it's usually by car, and I'm usually within 30 miles from home.

Fix Let's Encrypt Failing Certificates

For some reason, sometimes Let's Encrypt just has a hard time renewing SSL certificates and you might need to recreate them. Here is the process I take to get things back up and running fairly quickly with Digital Ocean Nginx Servers.

Check Issues

Change to Let's Encrypt directory:

Nginx Config Files for Node API

My servers are setup using Digital Ocean using These Instructions.

Then, for the API setup for Nginx, I use this setup for nginx.
