LaraSail is a great opensource tool written in bash for Laravel to help you automate your DigitalOcean Droplets set up for Laravel Applications.
The initial server setup done by LaraSail include:
* Installing all of the necessary updates
* Adding a non-root user
* Enabling ufw
* Installing and configuring LEMP for Laravel
* Installing composer
* Installing the Laravel Command
* Installing certbot
LaraSail is designed to work best on fresh new DigitalOcean Ubuntu Droplets.
