Hello, I recetly install a worpress on Forge (server on digital ocean). It works, but remember that forge is looking for a composer.json in the root folder to install dependencies, so you have to provide basic one
hope it's help

Forge with wordpress
Hi guys,
I am actually in the process of uploading a client project and it's wordpress, the thing is I recommended for him to use DigitalOcean for hosting, so my question is that a good choice ? And if it is, what will be the best, use forge to upload it or ues the DigitalOcean installer ?
And if it's forge, could you please give me some links to how to install it ?
Thank you very much.

@Thibaultvanc when you add a new site in Forge there's a checkbox for "Install Composer Dependencies" - untick this and you don't need to provide a composer file.

@Berrayti just make sure that you're running backups of your database with something like ottomatik.io. Why? Read this: https://murze.be/2016/02/today-digitalocean-lost-our-entire-server/!

@Berrayti Did you have to do any additional stuff? It just worked for you?
