🚀 Deploy to DigitalOcean App Platform

You can easily deploy Wave to DigitalOcean App Platform with just a few clicks. All you need is a DigitalOcean account.

1. Deploying the Application

Click this button to deploy the app to the DigitalOcean App Platform. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

> Using this button disables the ability to automatically re-deploy your app when pushing to a branch or tag in your repository as you are using this repo directly. If you want to automatically re-deploy your app, fork the GitHub repository to your account so that you have a copy of it stored to the cloud. Click the Fork button in the GitHub repository and follow the on-screen instructions.

After forking the repo, you should now be viewing this README in your own GitHub org (e.g. https://github.com//wave). To deploy the new repo, visit https://cloud.digitalocean.com/apps and click Create App. Then, click GitHub, select the repository you created and select the main branch.

2. Configure Your App

Once you're in the DigitalOcean Control Panel:

• You can leave all default settings as-is if you're just testing.
• For production or heavier workloads, consider adjusting:

• Component size (e.g., Basic vs. Professional)
• Number of containers
• Environment variables and secrets
• Database settings (if you want to use a managed database)
• Custom domain (optional, but recommended for production)

3. Initial Build and Database Setup

• The initial build will take a bit longer because it also provisions a development PostgreSQL database.
• This dev database is perfect for testing or staging.
• For production deployments, we recommend setting up a Managed PostgreSQL Database via DigitalOcean and attaching it to your app along with adjusting any necessary environment variables.

4. Seed the Database (First-Time Only)

After deployment is complete:

1. Open the App Platform Console Shell from your dashboard. 2. Run the following command:

php artisan db:seed

This step is required only on the first deploy to populate your database with default data. Future deployments will work automatically as you push changes to the main branch.
