I was able to successfully install it on DO. I haven’t activated the theme yet, but it is all there. I had to use their persisted query module, enable it, and instead of manually configuring the env.php I used the setup:config:set I ran this before to set the parameters, however I got an error that one of the options they specified wasn’t available. I didn’t think that it was dependent on the persisted query module they had. It just hit me this morning to try all of that in one “fell swoop”. It worked. It placed the configuration in a different location in the env. that is literally the only difference I could see as I had the same config even after utilizing their persisted query option and it still wouldn’t work. On to smooth sailing until the next problem arises.
This success though tells me that I should be able to install this on any server running redis and varnish. Pretty much all the settings had to do with the env.php file. Unless there was some strange configuration in the “managed” servers’ varnish or redis confs then I think it should work. I’m going to work on the DO server with this installed a little before heading over to cloudways to try.
