Once you complete all the steps above you should be able to see your site by accessing There are a great number of instructions how to build high availability servers, of course this will cost more since you have to create multiple droplets, however for a personal site this is not needed.
Follow the same server conifguraiton from above.If you would like to use Apache (LAMP stack) for your webserver please use this: Please see Nginx configuration settings for Drupal 8 Once you have your server configured begin installing Drupal 8.If you would like to use Memcached with PHP7 follow this instructions: Installing PHP-7 with Memcached.In order to upgrade it to PHP7 use this: How To Upgrade to PHP 7 on Ubuntu 14.04 The link above will only install PHP5.How To Install Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP (LEMP) stack on Ubuntu 14.04.Please read also UFW Essentials: Common Firewall Rules and Commands Basically only allow 80 (http), 443 (https) and 22 (SSH) ports. Please follow firewall configuration instructions: How To Set Up a Firewall with UFW on Ubuntu 14.04. Once you complete initial server configuration make sure your server is secured.Please follow the instructions in the following order: We will be using Ubuntu 14.04, Ngnix, PHP7, MySQL 5.6.

By following these instructions and configuring the servers yourself you will better understand how webservers work. While they have great support and pricing for businesses they don't have affordable plans for personal websites and that is the reason why I am writing this blog post.
DigitalOcean is a very affordable cloud hosting for developers (starting from $5 for a very simple droplet 512MB Memory / 1 CPU and 20GB disk).ĭigitalOcean provides great documentation with step by step instruction about how to configure your servers to do what you need.Ĭertainly by building your own server you won't have the tools that Drupal sepcific hostings provide, such as Acquia or Pantheon and certainly I am recommending to use Drupal specific hosting for your clients because they provide much better support on a various levels, starting from server issues all the way to Drupal-specific issues. These are instructions on how to setup DigitalOcean droplet to host your personal website.
