DigitalOcean App Platform Sync

Prerequisites:

Create a DigitalOcean Connection

Navigate to Project > Integrations and select the Secret Syncs tab. Click on the Add Sync button.

Secret Syncs Tab

Select DigitalOcean

Configure the Source from where secrets should be retrieved, then click Next.

Configure Source

Environment: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
Secret Path: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.

If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out secret imports.

Configure the Destination to where secrets should be deployed, then click Next.

Configure Destination

DigitalOcean Connection: The DigitalOcean Connection to authenticate with.
App: The App Platform app to sync secrets to.

Configure the Sync Options to specify how secrets should be synced, then click Next.

Configure Options

Initial Sync Behavior: Determines how Hanzo KMS should resolve the initial sync.
- Overwrite Destination Secrets: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Hanzo KMS.

Digital Ocean App Platform does not support importing secrets.

Key Schema: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using {{secretKey}} as a placeholder for the original secret name and {{environment}} for the environment.

We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Hanzo KMS only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.

Auto-Sync Enabled: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
Disable Secret Deletion: If enabled, Hanzo KMS will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Hanzo KMS.

Configure the Details of your DigitalOcean Sync, then click Next.

Configure Details

Name: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
Description: An optional description for your sync.

Review your DigitalOcean Sync configuration, then click Create Sync.

Review Configuration

If enabled, your DigitalOcean Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

Sync Created

To create a DigitalOcean App Platform Sync, make an API request to the Create DigitalOcean Sync API endpoint.
