App Platform Support

App Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that allows developers to publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

Can I inject certificates or other files into my app at build time?

App Platform does not currently support injecting values as files on disk. Use environment variables to create files at run time.

My app failed to build and I received an exit code

Review your app’s build logs to diagnose which process failed during building.

My DOCR image failed to upload or timed out

Try to reupload the image to see if it resolves the issue.

Why are my apt-get dependencies missing from my app?

We do not support using apt-get install when using buildpacks. Instead, use a Dockerfile.

Why are my database bind variables missing from my app?

Database bind variables are only available during an app’s deployment and run times.

How do I solve an Invalid dockerfile_path error?

Change dockerfile_path to match your Dockerfile’s path.

My app deployment failed because of a health check

Your app is likely unavailable on the port App Platform uses to perform health checks. Customize the health check or update the ports in your app.
