How to deploy a meteor application to my own server?
flavour 1: the development and deployment server are the same;
flavour 2: the development server is one
Another alternative is to just develop on your own server to start with. I just created a Digital Ocean box and then connected my Cloud9 IDE account.
Now, I can develop right on the machine in a Cloud IDE and deployment is easy--just copying files.
I created a tutorial that shows exactly how my set up works.
