Where can I find the client IP address of a request connecting to my app?

App Platform adds a do-connecting-ip HTTP header that contains the client’s IP address for requests directed to your app. While the x-forwarded-for header is often used for this purpose, App Platform uses this header for the IP address of the DigitalOcean ingress server that forwarded the request to your app.

Can I choose my Droplet's IP address?

You cannot create Droplets with a specific IP address, but you can use reserved IPs for a static address that you can migrate between Droplets.

Why am I getting an error when trying to forward DigitalOcean Functions to Managed OpenSearch?

Functions does not support forwarding to Managed OpenSearch.

My container-based app fails to deploy without logs or error codes.

Troubleshoot by making sure the Dockerfile and its commands build on Linux AMD64 and other steps.
