DigitalOcean Reference

Use do:* commands to provision Droplets, manage SSH keys, and manage DNS records.

Configuration

Set your token in the environment:

dotenv

DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN=...

Create the token at cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens with read/write access.

At a Glance

Command	Use it when you need to...
`do:provision`	create a Droplet and register it in inventory
`do:key:list`	inspect existing account SSH keys
`do:key:add`	upload a local public key
`do:key:delete`	remove an account SSH key
`do:dns:list`	list DNS records for a domain
`do:dns:set`	create or update a DNS record
`do:dns:delete`	remove a DNS record

Alias commands are also supported:

digitalocean:provision
digitalocean:key:list
digitalocean:key:add
digitalocean:key:delete
digitalocean:dns:list
digitalocean:dns:set
digitalocean:dns:delete

SSH Key Management

Use the do:key:* commands to keep account SSH keys aligned with your access policy before provisioning. You can list existing keys, upload a local public key, or remove a key you no longer need.

shell

deployer do:key:list
deployer do:key:add
deployer do:key:delete

Provisioning

do:provision creates a Droplet and writes inventory entries so you can continue with server:install and site workflows immediately. You can also configure optional settings during provisioning, including VPC selection, monitoring (enabled by default, free), IPv6 (enabled by default, free), and automatic backups.

If provisioning fails after the Droplet is created, DeployerPHP automatically rolls back the Droplet so you don't accumulate orphaned resources.

shell

deployer do:provision

After provisioning, run the server:install command to prepare runtime services.

DNS Management

Use do:dns:list to inspect current records for a domain, then use do:dns:set and do:dns:delete for deliberate changes.

do:dns:delete uses a two-tier confirmation: you type the record name first, then confirm with a yes/no prompt.

shell

deployer do:dns:list
deployer do:dns:set
deployer do:dns:delete
