What things should I read up on when learning to deploy Laravel apps?

Hello, I just watched a video on how to set up a LEMP stack on Digital Ocean and it seems to have concepts I am still very unfamiliar with (SSH and such). Could anyone possibly give me a list of what I should be studying to learn this kind of stuff? I am unsure what I should be searching on Google because I don't just want to learn how to deploy Laravel apps but all apps built with different tech if they follow a similar process.

Actually working with unix commands and setting up your own stack requires time and skill even more if you want to use schedulers, queues, SSL, environment variables and so on. Laravel Forge is your best friend when it comes to deploying and managing your applications on digital ocean, Linude, AWS and others with very few costs. Trust me it worth more than what it cost.

@amirhazz how much does it typically cost overall to launch an ecommerce website made with Laravel?

@p0t4t0 It depends on what services do you want to use but it's cost for me up to £20 a month max with hosting, domain, services and so on and if I code everything myself. Also it depends on what do you want to sell.
