This guide outlines the steps to deploy an Angular frontend and a Laravel backend application on a Digital Ocean droplet. By following these instructions, you'll be able to set up and configure your server to host both the frontend and backend components of your application.

• A Digital Ocean account
• Basic understanding of Angular and Laravel development
• Familiarity with Linux server administration and command line interface

1. Create a Digital Ocean Droplet

   • Log in to your Digital Ocean account and create a new droplet.
   • Choose the desired operating system (e.g., Ubuntu) and configuration for your droplet.

2. SSH Into Your Droplet

   • Once your droplet is created, SSH into it using the provided IP address and your SSH key.

3. Install Required Software

   • Update the package list: sudo apt update
   • Install Nginx web server: sudo apt install nginx
   • Install PHP and required extensions for Laravel: sudo apt install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysql php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-zip unzip

4. Configure Nginx

   • Configure Nginx to serve your Angular frontend and Laravel backend applications. You'll need to create server blocks for each application.

5. Install Composer (for Laravel)

   • Install Composer, a PHP dependency manager, by following the instructions on the Composer website.

6. Deploy Laravel Backend

   • Clone your Laravel project repository onto the server.
   • Install dependencies using Composer: composer install
   • Set up environment variables and configure your .env file.
   • Run database migrations and seeders if necessary: php artisan migrate --seed
   • Configure Nginx to serve your Laravel application.

7. Deploy Angular Frontend

   • Build your Angular project locally: ng build --prod
   • Transfer the built files to your server using SCP or another file transfer method.
   • Configure Nginx to serve your Angular application.

8. Secure Your Server

   • Configure firewall rules to allow only necessary incoming traffic.
   • Enable HTTPS by obtaining an SSL certificate and configuring Nginx to use it.

9. Test Your Deployment

   • Access your server's IP address in a web browser to verify that both the Angular frontend and Laravel backend are functioning correctly.

10. Monitor and Maintain

    • Set up monitoring and logging to keep track of server performance and errors.
    • Regularly update your server's software to ensure security and stability.
