So here is the clue on how you can host a laravel project on digital ocean using database and spaces as your file storage. you can do this by creating an APP, DATABASE and SPACE without using a droplet.

// install laravel on you computer

$ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:^7.0 project

// create the migrations

php artisan make:model Image -m

//make tables

Schema::create('advances', function (Blueprint $table) {
       $table->id();
       $table->string('image')->nullable();
       $table->longText('image_name')->nullable();
       $table->timestamps();
});

//migrate the tables

php artisan migrate

//Create a view (resources/views/image/upload.blade.php)

<div class="comment_form_container">
    <div class="section_title">Information</div>
      <form action="/image/upload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="comment_form">
                        @csrf
                        <div><input type="text" name="image_name" class="comment_input" placeholder="Image Name"></div>
                        <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-md-6">
                          <input type="file" name="image" class="comment_input" placeholder="Image">
                       </div>
                 </div>
             <button class="comment_button button_fill">Upload</button>
         </form>
      </div>
</div>

//create controller

php artisan make:controller ImageController

//setup the controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\admin;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

{
    public function index()

    }

    public function create()
    {

    {
        $image = new Image();
        $image->image_name = $request->image_name;
        if ($request-> hasfile('image')){
            $filenamewithext = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();
            $filename = pathinfo($filenamewithext,PATHINFO_FILENAME);
            $extension = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $filenametostore = '1_'.$filename.'_'.time().'.'.$extension;
            $image->image = $request->image->store('/beats', 'spaces', $filenametostore);
        }
        $image->save();
        return redirect()->back();
    }

}

//setup the route

Route::get('/', 'ImageController@index');
Route::get('/upload', 'ImageController@create');
