Craft-DO-Forge-Recipe

CraftCMS / Digital Ocean / Laravel Forge Recipe.

Digital Ocean / Forge Recipe for CraftCMS websites heavily inspired by nystudio107's craft-script, nginx-craft and their various articles.

Special thanks to Andrew Welch for all his help and guidance.

Overview

• nginx-craft requirements
