Use when deploying or operating a workload on DigitalOcean — Droplet vs App Platform vs Functions, doctl, app spec YAML, Managed Postgres/MySQL/Valkey on the VPC, S3-compatible Spaces + CDN. NOT host-agnostic CI/CD or rollback strategy (that is `deployment`), NOT a bare Hetzner VPS (that is `hetzner`), NOT another managed PaaS (that is `railway`).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DigitalOcean — Droplet vs App Platform, doctl, Managed DBs, Spaces
You own one decision: **where on DO does this run, and how do I ship it.** Host-agnostic
CI/CD, release gating and rollback strategy are `../deployment/SKILL.md`; authoring the
Dockerfile is `docker`; DNS records and the registrar are `domains-dns`; a bare Hetzner box
and its economics are `hetzner`. Pick the compute model first, then wire data and storage,
then the ops that bite in production.
```text
workload → [Droplet | App Platform | Functions] → Managed DB (VPC private host) → Spaces (S3 + CDN)
raw VPS managed PaaS event fn Postgres/MySQL/Valkey object store
```
## The core decision: Droplet vs App Platform vs Functions
Settle this before writing a single command. Most web apps want App Platform; reach for a
Droplet only when you need the box itself.
| Axis | Droplet (VPS) | App Platform (PaaS) | Functions |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Control | Full root, any daemon, any port | Build+run only, no SSH | Per-invocation, no host |
| Ops burden | You patch/secure/restart it | DO runs it, auto TLS, auto deploy | Zero infra |

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/digitalocean@sha256:0b759bdd1a1feca5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.a707f94, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
