If I create a droplet for a Bluesky PDS, can I also use that droplet to host a website/wiki/etc? I’d like to move everything from my existing provider and have my website url also be used as my Bluesky server address.

Hey Day,
Yes, this should be doable. You can use a single Droplet to host both a Bluesky Personal Data Server (PDS) and additional services like a website, wiki, or other apps! Since you’ll have root access on the Droplet, you’ll have complete control to configure it exactly how you need.
DigitalOcean offers a Bluesky PDS one-click installation through the Marketplace. This setup includes Caddy Web Server, it is a lightweight, production-ready web server that handles HTTPS automatically.
Using this one-click install, you’ll have your Bluesky PDS up and running quickly. Plus, since you’ll have full access to the Droplet, you can configure Caddy to serve other sites or applications alongside Bluesky.
Keep in mind that depending on the traffic and load, you might need to monitor and scale your Droplet’s CPU and RAM usage. DigitalOcean allows you to resize Droplets easily if needed at any time.
Hope that this helps!
