This is a quick guide on how to deploy Frappe Framework to DigitalOcean App Platform.
I got inspired by this post and I used App Platform a lot before so I though if I was able to deploy Frappe there. I have created an extensive blog post.
Some things to consider:
- This is not fully tested in production grade.
- If you decide to try it, install Frappe S3 Attachment | Frappe Cloud Marketplace since App Platform has a storage size of 2GB.
For more information on DigitalOcean App Platform limitations and best practices, refer to:
Github repo where source code is located.
Steps
- Fork do-frappe
- Update
repovalue on.do/app.yamlto be your Github username - Generate a DigitalOcean token with scopes
update,read,createunderapp(or give full permissions) - Link your Github Account with App Platform. (IMPORTANT)
- Add this token as a secret in your forked repo named
DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN - Trigger the CI/CD pipeline
- Wait for the deployment to complete
Good thing about this, is that you can create multi-bench. You automatically link domains in the App, create a new site with bench new-site <domain> and you have a working bench.
App Platform takes care of domains link, ssl etc.
