Good morning, Wappler community!
My name is Elle and I am now two days into learning my way around Wappler. My last post, several suggested to use and deploy with Docker. And while I now have it set up, I continue to get an error on deploying to Digital Ocean.
Since I am not able to find the specific error in the forums - here’s it is:
Yes, I have restarted Docker desktop, etc.
Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated!

So you have multiple Targets with one being your local Development project running in Docker and at least one related to DO?
If you click the Pencil icon in top center of editor to open Project Settings, what is the Server Type and Database Type for your Development target and your DO target?
I have only a single target. The DO db connection is ok.
The rest appears to have gone from bad to worse:
“The machine actively refused it” Yes, I double checked the key.
Thoughts are appreciated…

The screen shot above is on ‘test connection’
You need multiple targets. The first target is always your local machine that is typically connected to your local components (local web server, local database, etc.). The other targets are usually to remote machines on cloud providers.
Can you provide a screenshot of the Development target? It should look something like this.
Well that explains a lot… thanks.
I actually destroyed my DO droplet and am rebuilding. Will add the two targets as you say and reply again with screen shot.
Seems like this may be the culprit, and I sincerely do appreciate you taking the time to help.
I’ll get up to speed… 
Same problem - refusing to connect - which is a different error than what I started this thread with.
Here are the targets:
And…
Thoughts?

Your Development target works fine? It’s just the DO_Cloud that you’re having issues testing the connection?
I also get the “Error Occurred Testing Docker Connection” when using the “Test Connection” button. I’m guessing it’s a bug.
If you go to Resource Manager and right-click on your server and click System Check do you get a “Server was setup successfully!” message?
There’s a big problem here, this Docker method you’re using is obsolete, what tutorial are you following?
The new Docker method uses the new Resource Manager and SSH connection instead of Docker-Machine
This is the tutorial you should follow:
Alternatively, here’s a video tutorial as well:
@Elle you’re already using Resource Manager? It seems like you are based on the Use Cloud Server value.
If you are then, if you go to Resource Manager and right-click on your server and click System Check do you get a “Server was setup successfully!” message?
Thank you for this.
Yes, it is in resource manager:
Right click server —> system check output:
Which is contradicting what comes next…
On Project Settings I set two different targets as you suggested.
Development is ok:
However, DO is not:
However, take notice (I just did) that the Docker Deploy Name prefix is poie3_
I have made numerous tests (attempts) and my Docker Desktop is littered with each of them.
Intriguing here is that the only running container prefix is poie1_ - a previous test attempt.
Odd, because Docker appears to have created each container as I created the new project in Wappler, yet, it appears, for some reason that did not happen at this new projects creation.
So this is likely the problem?
So I attempt to change the Docker deploy and and the drop down is not populated:
Ugh. I think I’ll start over with a new project.
As always, I appreciate your willingness to help.

@Elle let’s see if we can deploy your Development setup to the cloud.
Publish button
Publish To dropdown to your cloud instance (DO_cloud).
Clear Unused Docker Images. If you don’t select this you will eventually run out of space as you upload newer images.Apply Database Changes
Commit to Git and add a message.Publish
If you’ve expanded the bottom panel, then you should see Wappler starting to build the remote instance.
That… didn’t go well.
Odd, because I saw this message yesterday, but don’t recall in what context.
Thoughts?
~Elle
Are you doing a lot of deleting and restarting trying to get everything to work?
I’m thinking my best bet is to start (yet another) project from scratch.
Take it from the top.
~Elle
ok, let’s start from the beginning becuase I also noticed in your most recent screenshot of your Development target that you appear to be using a local web server and do not have a database defined.
So, first question. Do you have a preference of using PHP or node.js? If not, I recommend node.js.
Let me know which and I’ll provide next steps.
