Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Sparrow 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB Sparrow Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

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

Getting Started After Deploying Sparrow

After creating the Droplet using this 1-Click App, follow these steps to access and configure your application:

1. Access the Droplet via SSH

Use the following command to connect to your Droplet:

ssh root@your_droplet_public_ipv4

• Replace your_droplet_public_ipv4 with the actual public IP address of your Droplet.
• You can find the IP on cloud.digitalocean.com after the Droplet is launched.
• Note: You must have the SSH key or password you selected during Droplet creation.

2. Access the Application in a Web Browser

Open your browser and go to:

• http://your_droplet_public_ipv4/health
• Or, if SSL is configured:

https://your_droplet_public_ipv4/health

This will return the health status of the Sparrow service.

3. Login Credentials

• Username:root
• Password: Use the password or SSH key you configured while creating the Droplet.

4. Default Open Ports

Ensure your local firewall does not block these ports.
