# Airflow

Generated on 3 Jun 2024 from [the Airflow catalog page](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/airflow)

Apache Airflow allows you to define almost any workflow in Python code, no matter how complex. Because of its versatility, Airflow is used by companies all over the world for a variety of use cases.

If you’re looking to deploy Airflow in production, check out the [DigitalOcean Airflow Blueprint!](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/apache-airflow-blueprint/) Blueprints are Terraform based deployments that allow you to spin up multiple resources at once on DigitalOcean.

## Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Airflow 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the [DigitalOcean API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api). As an example, to create a 4GB Airflow Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following `curl` command. You need to either save your [API access token](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/index.html.md) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

```shell
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"airflow"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
```

## Getting Started After Deploying Airflow

After droplet is created airflow will be fully functional in 5-10 minutes. It can be accessible on default HTTP port - http://{$DROPLET\_IP}. On your first [SSH login to the droplet](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/connect-with-ssh/index.html.md) or launch of the Droplet console of your Airflow Droplet 1-Click, you will be greeted by a Airflow welcome message. Admin password will be shown in the welcome message. Use this password to enter the Airflow droplet website.

Certbot is installed, run it to setup HTTPS.
