# Digital Ocean
> Deploy Gorbit on Digital Ocean Droplets
Create a Droplet with the appropriate resources. For this guide,
we will use a recommended configuration with Docker pre-installed.
Read our [Resourcing guide](/deployment/getting_started/resourcing) for more details.
* Give your Droplet a descriptive name like `gorbit-prod`
* Select a region close to your users
* Select the `Docker` image from the *Marketplace* tab
* Choose a Droplet size with at least 4 vCPUs and 16GB RAM
* Configure storage following the Resourcing Guide
* Add your SSH key for secure access
Click **Create Droplet** and then view your Droplet details.
Save the **Public IP address** of the Droplet!
If you don't have a domain, buy one from a DNS provider like [GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/)
or just skip HTTPS for now.
To point our domain to the new instance, we need to add an `A` and `CNAME` record to our DNS provider.
The `A` record should be the subdomain that you would like to use for the Gorbit instance like `prod`.
The `CNAME` record should be the same name with the `www.` in front resulting in `www.prod` pointing to the full
domain like `prod.gorbit.app`.
Since we selected the Docker Marketplace image, Docker and Docker Compose are already installed.
We just need to install `git`:
```bash theme={null}
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git
```
## Next Steps
Set up authentication for your Gorbit deployment with OAuth, OIDC, or SAML.
