You can deploy a NestJS and Nuxt monorepo to Digital Ocean by running the deployment from the repository root, which builds, tags, and pushes Docker images to the Digital Ocean container registry, then brings up the stack using docker-compose.

Before deploying a Docker Compose stack to Digital Ocean, you need Docker and doctl access installed, plus properly configured production environment files to ensure services come up in a healthy state.

Docker image tagging for the Digital Ocean registry involves building images for your backend and frontend services, tagging them for registry.digitalocean.com, and pushing them so they are ready for docker-compose deployment.

This deployment approach is specifically designed for the Wemotoo CRM stack featuring ecommerce-nestjs and wemotoo-crm-portal images, but the centralized build and deploy pattern can be adapted for similar NestJS and Nuxt projects on Digital Ocean.

The best way to ensure a stable Docker deployment on Digital Ocean is to centralize the build, push, and deploy steps while using production environment file management and health checks across all backend and frontend services.

A Docker Compose deployment fails without production environment files because the automated deployment requires them alongside Docker and doctl access to configure services and pass health checks for a stable release.
