# Remote Development on DigitalOcean Droplets
|
|
|
|
Provision DigitalOcean Droplets as [Coder workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/workspaces) with this example template.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Add screenshot -->
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To deploy workspaces as DigitalOcean Droplets, you'll need:
|
|
|
|
- DigitalOcean [personal access token (PAT)](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token)
|
|
|
|
- DigitalOcean project ID (you can get your project information via the `doctl` CLI by running `doctl projects list`)
|
|
|
|
- Remove the following sections from the `main.tf` file if you don't want to
|
|
associate your workspaces with a project:
|
|
|
|
- `variable "project_uuid"`
|
|
- `resource "digitalocean_project_resources" "project"`
|
|
|
|
- **Optional:** DigitalOcean SSH key ID (obtain via the `doctl` CLI by running
|
|
`doctl compute ssh-key list`)
|
|
|
|
- Note that this is only required for Fedora images to work.
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
|
|
This template assumes that the Coder Provisioner is run in an environment that is authenticated with Digital Ocean.
|
|
|
|
Obtain a [Digital Ocean Personal Access Token](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens) and set the `DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN` environment variable to the access token.
|
|
For other ways to authenticate [consult the Terraform provider's docs](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/digitalocean/digitalocean/latest/docs).
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
This template provisions the following resources:
|
|
|
|
- DigitalOcean VM (ephemeral, deleted on stop)
|
|
- Managed disk (persistent, mounted to `/home/coder`)
|
|
|
|
This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace (e.g. `python3`), modify the VM image, or use a [startup script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/script).

|

|
|
> This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
