Installing YMCA Website Services on a DigitalOcean Droplet

These steps outline how to install YMCA Website Services on a DigitalOcean droplet.

  1. Create a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64 droplet. Choose a region close to your location.

    DigitalOcean Droplet Creation

    Use a 2GB droplet or more powerful option, if needed. Do not use the 1GB option as YMCA Website Services may fail on it.

  2. Log in to the droplet via SSH.

  3. Execute the one-click install script. Run the following command as the root user:

    curl -Ls http://bit.ly/initopeny | bash -s
    

    This command will run for approximately 10 minutes.

  4. Access the installation URL. Upon completion, you should see a message similar to:

    Open http://127.0.0.1/core/install.php to proceed with OpenY installation.
    
  5. Open the provided URL in your browser. Access this link from your droplet’s IP address, not from this document. Then proceed with the YMCA Website Services installation.

    For example, if your droplet’s IP address is 192.0.2.0, you would access http://192.0.2.0/core/install.php.

Enjoy!

To install the latest beta release of YMCA Website Services 2.0, modify the command in step 3:
