Hosting my Site:

Ok this may be a dumb question, but still looking for any articles or help I could get.

I’m using digital ocean, and already have a droplet and a domain name bought. I have the DNS pointing at DO as well.

In Wappler I’ve added DO as a cloud provider, and connected to my droplet as a server. It’s currently saying that “all configured authentication methods have failed however” which I don’t fully understand. Also do I need to download another software; I’ve read a lot about Docker but don’t know what it is. Any help on this matter would be greatly apprecaited

do I need to download Traefik?

Not sure what the authentication failure is about, but you don’t necessarily need other software or Traefik. You could use DO provided options like their hosted Load Balancer or nothing else depending on what port you setup for access and what your domain is pointed to.

Still very confused, can you give me the basic layout of what I’d need to fully host this site. I’ve seen docker used, I’ve seen Wappler hosting? I don’t really know where to start

Let Wappler create the droplet instead of associating your current droplet, so you don’t run into mistakes concerning the SSH key (your current problem most likely). There’s a tutorial somewhere of using Resource Manager, which may include the “installation” of Traefik

@Hyperbytes you got a video too, don’t you?

Setting up docker remote in Wappler - YouTube

is it this one? I’ve been trying to follow it but it’s a bit dated now, they use Wappler hosting, and I couldn’t find where to do that.

I also have a series on using the resource manager and docker here.

That’s the old method, the new method is using “Resource Manager”

Also, make sure to check the docs related to the resource manager:

If I didn’t connect my cite to docker from the beginning, how can I use docker now with my completed project to publish it?

Please use the resource manager to create your DO server as the docs listed above.
