digitalocean-droplet-deployment

Automated deployment to DigitalOcean Droplets transfers your code, installs dependencies, configures systemd services, and verifies health—all without manual SSH steps. This Skill handles environment variables, secrets, and service management end-to-end using doctl and rsync.

Yes. This Skill provides pre-built scripts that handle code transfer via rsync, dependency installation, systemd service creation, and health checks. You validate locally, then run a single deployment command.

Prerequisites include doctl CLI configured with your DigitalOcean token, SSH access to your Droplet, rsync installed locally, and a Python or Node.js app ready for production. The Skill handles the rest.

Systemd services ensure your app starts automatically on Droplet boot and restarts on failure. This Skill creates and manages these services, so your Python or Node.js application runs reliably without manual intervention.

Yes. This Skill supports optional rollback functionality, letting you revert to a previous version if health checks fail or issues arise post-deployment.

Secrets are securely managed as environment variables on your Droplet. The Skill supports updating or rotating secrets without redeploying your entire application.
