This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Getting Started

These steps will get this sample application running for you using DigitalOcean.

Note: Following these steps will result in charges for the use of DigitalOcean Droplets

Requirements

Docker must be installed locally on your machine, unless you choose to build remotely via Github Actions (beyond the scope of this README)
You need a DigitalOcean account. If you don't already have one, you can sign up at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new

Installing App Sail

To install the App Sail CLI, visit https://cloud.digitalocean.com/appsail and choose to Create or Launch a new app. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the CLI.

Downloading the Sample App Source Code

To download the demo app run in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/digitalocean-appsail/sample-react.git
cd sample-react

Deploying the App

sail push

It will ask for an auth key if you haven't used the sail CLI before. Retrieve it from the auth page.

Then it will ask how to configure the app. Answer the questions as follows:

    ✓ Is this app already live (on App Sail)?: No
    ✓ Name this app : sample-react
    ✓ Need to set any env variables: No
    Let's configure your app for deployment:
    ✓ Choose your configuration preference: Automatic...
    ✓ Node app detected, is this correct: Yes
    ✓ Use Node 10: Yes
    ✓ Do you need a database: No

After that, it will go through a deploy process. Once it's done, you can open the live app or administration dashboard by following the links provided by the App Sail CLI once the push is completed.

Learn More

You can learn more about App Sail and how to manage and update your application at https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/appsail/.

Deleting the App

When you no longer need this sample application running live, you can delete it by following these steps:

Visit the app dashboard at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/appsail
Navigate to the sample-react app
Choose "App Config"->"Show More"
Select "Delete", type your app's name, and click "Delete App".

This will delete the app and destroy any underlying DigitalOcean Droplets.

Note: If you don't delete your app, charges for the use of DigitalOcean Droplets will continue to accrue. Also, even if you delete your app, a new push to your sample-nodejs repo on Github will trigger a new deploy which will result in DigitalOcean charges.
