Ask DN: How do you deploy and host websites today?

    Digital Ocean for hosting, Git for deployment.

    The actual site could be anything — Wordpress, Jekyll, static HTML, you name it. (Well, not Drupal. And not Joomla.)

      Similar to the setup I use!

      You had any luck compiling SCSS on the server (on deploy) by any chance?

        I do all my processing locally, using Gulp or Grunt. Haven't even tried deploy-time processing.

          Ahh damn, that's currently what I do too though I'm getting sick of conflicting css files from the build process…

            You can add a .gitattributes file, to mark your CSS files as binary and avoid conflicts, with this line:

            *.css -text -diff

            You can add a hook to your server side deployment to run whatever command you want (e.g. gulp build:dist) when something is pushed.
