DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean

Prerequisites

OctoPerf can automatically start and stop DigitalOcean Droplets on-demand using your own DigitalOcean Account.

In order to setup DigitalOcean in OctoPerf, the following items are required:

• DigitalOcean Account: a valid paid account is required,
• Access Token: a personal access token to allow driving your account programmatically (by OctoPerf EE).

Access Token

To create a personal access token:

• Login on your DigitalOcean account,
• Click on API from top menu,
• Click on Generate new Token,
• Enter token name (Example: octoperf),
• Select Read and Write access,
• Click on Generate Token.

Keep the generated token in a safe location for later use.

Droplet Image

By default Octoperf EE uses the Docker Once-click App as the base image when launching the droplets. You can create your own droplet image with Packer very easily.

Info

When creating the droplet image using packer, save the image id. Also, make sure to copy the image to all the region you would like to use to provision machines.

OctoPerf DO Provider

You can now setup the DigitalOcean Provider using the On-Premise configuration panel.

Access

The DigitalOcean provider has the following settings:

• Provider Name: the name as displayed when selecting the provider for a test run.

• Access Token: DigitalOcean API Key.

Info

The Access token should give both read and write access to the account.

Locations

Using the previously entered credentials, OctoPerf scans all the regions and looks for:

• Images: a digitalocean snapshot whose name starts with octoperf, otherwise it uses the docker-18-04 image by default.

Each Region can be edited and all the automatically detected settings can be changed.

Info

The search functions are detailed in this section of the navigation page.

Floating IPs

Floating IPs can be allocated using Dedicated IPs management panel.
