You just have to copy all the command I have mentioned in this blog. Don’t miss a Single Command.
Step-1: Create and Setup DigitalOcean droplet
Visit the DigitalOcean website and create an account If you already have an account then you should go to the digital ocean dashboard and look out for the create a droplet option.
Droplet on DigitalOcean can be created in 7 easy steps.
a) Select the Ubuntu Version
I recommend to use the Ubuntu version (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS X64).
b) Choose CPU plan
This Section on DigitalOcean indicates which kind of server you required? so I recommend using the basic shared CPU.
c) Select the CPU Option
You can use the $10/month CPU.
d) Choose a Datacenter region
You have to choose the Datacenter region which means your server will be hosted in that particular country. If your clients reside in the USA then you have to choose the USA similarly you can make decisions based on your target audience.
e) Choose the Authentication mode.
Authentication mode means how you want to connect your server using a password method or the SSH method. I usually prefer to go with the password options.
f) Create a root password
now you have to create a password by which you can access your server using the command prompt or the Putty application.
g) Create Droplet
Now you’ll get the Large green button at the bottom, which indicates to Create droplet. you just have to click on that button and your droplet will be created in few minutes.
Once you click on Create Droplet it’ll take few minutes and your droplet has been created.
Also, you’ll be redirected to the new window and you will see an IP has been provided to your server. that particular IP is the locationof your server as well as you can access your server using that ip.
Step-2: Install the packages required to run Mautic 3.
– Now you have to connect your server using the Putty application.
– Download and install the Putty application.
– You have to open the installed putty application and have to connect your server using the putty.
– Once you open the putty, you have to insert your Hostname or IP address which you have created on the DigitalOcean.
– To access the Server your username is root and password will be the one which you have authenticated at the time of creating the droplet.
username: root
password: password
Let’s get started installing Mautic 3 on DigitalOcean Server, first you have to gain sudo privileges so you have the rights to issue all the commands:
sudo su
Now make sure your server is up to date by updating Ubuntu.
apt update && apt upgrade -y

wget https://mauteam.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/000-default.txtmv 000-default.txt /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Now, Create a database for Mautic.
mysql -u root
This command will connect you to your database:
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE mautic DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;GRANT ALL ON mautic.* TO ‘root’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
