+## Digital Ocean Deployment details
+1. The Node server is installed to `/opt/netstar-categorizer`
+2. Rather than using `npm start` (which doesn't restart after a crash) the we use **[PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/)**, which provides a more robust runtime
+3. The full command to start the server using pm2 is `pm2 start npm --name "netstar-categorizer" --cwd /opt/netstar-categorizer/ -- start` - for convenience, there's a `run-me.sh` script in `/root` that will execute this command.
