I’m working to build my web site and community forum setup for my app. Here are the key points of my setup:
-
My web site is php based but with no database, and is designed in Wappler.
-
My hosting is with Digital Ocean.
-
I will be using Discourse as my forum software which I need to install under Docker and would like to be on the same Digital Ocean droplet as I host the web site.
-
I had massive problems getting Docker Desktop to run on my laptop a few months ago, and I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole again. Hence I will not have Docker Desktop available to me.
So my questions are the following:
-
Is it still true to say that I cannot create a Docker Droplet from Wappler unless I have Docker Desktop installed?
-
If I create a docker based droplet directly in Digital Ocean and want to publish my Wappler PHP based site to it, what am I best to put in the Wappler target?
a) Can I specify my hosting as “Docker” and interface to the Docker Droplet I will have created in Digital Ocean? If so, will I need to set some specific options when I create this Docker Droplet?
b) Do I need to use SFTP instead?
c) Will I not be able to interface to such a droplet from Wappler?
Thanks in advance,
Antony.
