​
Choose your path

If you want a Linux server you manage directly, follow VPS.
Use this when you want a managed PaaS flow on DigitalOcean.

​
App Platform flow

1

Create the project

In the DigitalOcean dashboard, create a new project and then create an app from GitHub.
2

Point the build to the Dockerfile

Use a Web Service component with infra/docker/Dockerfile as the Dockerfile path and . as the build context.
3

Set environment variables

Add the shared values from Environment Variables and the correct storage profile from Manual Installation Overview. Mark secrets as encrypted.
4

Create resources and validate

Deploy the app, wait for build completion, and validate the main route.
5

Set the final domain

Add the production domain in App Platform and update SITE_URL to the final HTTPS URL.

​
Scheduler

App Platform deployment does not replace the sync scheduler requirement. If you are not on Supabase mode, use an external scheduler that follows Scheduled Jobs.

​
Optional Terraform

export DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN=<your-token>
cd infra/terraform/environments/production/digital-ocean
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
