Can't deploy on digitalocean

[stepsbystep]

I tried to deploy a simple solara script to a digitalocean droplet. Connection was refused.

I tried with nignx and the server def found here and without nignx, both with the same result. I had no trouble runing a streamlit script.

I was unable to find information elsewhere about running solara on digitalocean, or any other cloud platform except ploomber. Can I deploy solara apps on digitalocean?

Hi,

It shouldn't need nginx. The only thing I can think of is setting the port and the host. There is nothing special I think about digital ocean, I've used it before, and I don't remember having difficulties.
Can you share a bit more details about what you did?

Regards,

Maarten

Thanks for the quick response Maarten!

Without ningx I tried both:

solara run slLayoutEx1.py  

and

solara run slLayoutEx1.py --production

In both cases the only response is:

Solara server is starting at http://localhost:8765

From both Chrome and Edge browsers I enter:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x:8765/

and I get the response:

xxx.xxx.xxx.x:8765 refused to connect.

I have no firewall going on my droplet. It seems there is no solara error log to review.

Solara server is starting at http://localhost:8765

It is binding to localhost, so that means it only binds to the loopback device, if you pass --host 0.0.0.0 it will bind to all interfaces. I think this might not be covered in the docs, so we might need to write about that.

Let us know if that fixes it or not.
