Laravel App on DigitalOcean and installation of Composer
Hi, I'm using the Laravel one-click droplet on DigitalOcean to install Laravel 9.12, Nginx, Ubuntu, and Composer, but am running into an issue. When I set it up initially, I get a prompt to set up the domain, SSL, etc., but I haven't yet had the opportunity to create a sudo user on Ubuntu and so am logged in as root. Because of this, Composer is created as root, which is apparently a no-no. I ended up with a couple of sites without permissions set up correctly, and a permissions error I believe related to Composer on installation. I just trashed the site and started over, which wasn't a huge deal, but am running into the same issue a second time.
How do I create my sudo user first so that I can use the correct rights for installing Composer before creating the first site?
Thanks.
Hi there,
There should already be a sudo user that you can access with su larasail.
The Larasail script is part of the 1-Click installation, so you can even add new websites as described here:
Once you access the larasail user, you should be able to make any changes as normal.
Regarding the permissions, can you confirm which file exactly is causing you troubles? I will investigate this further and patch the 1-Click installation on DigitalOcean.
Best,
Bobby
