How to Build and Connect to a DigitalOcean Droplet | NovNov1

Welcome to Day 1 of my NovNov technical project!
This roughly ten-minute video kicks off a month-long dive into Linux, remote access, system administration, and even a bit of ethical hacking. Don't worry, there will be plenty of tangents along the way.

In this video, we cover:
- Creating a Droplet in DigitalOcean
- Connecting to your Droplet using SSH
- Creating a new user account
- Verifying login with the new user

Shoutout to Zach’s great video on the GOAT (ping) that I mentioned:

DigitalOcean has grown a lot over the years — from basic VMs and DNS to now offering AI Agents, Managed Databases, and App Gateways. We might explore some of those later this month, so stay tuned!
