Deploy to DigitalOcean
Automatically
Connect your Git repository and deploy to your DigitalOcean Droplets with every push. Build, test, and ship your code automatically — with zero-downtime atomic deployments and full SSH command support.
Deploying to DigitalOcean Shouldn't Be This Hard
Without automation, every release means SSHing into your Droplet and running the same commands by hand.
Without automation, every deploy to DigitalOcean is a manual process — SSH in, pull, build, restart. Every single time.
Push Your Code, DeployHQ Handles the Rest
DeployHQ connects directly to your Git provider and your Droplet — deploying automatically on every push.
How It Works
Three steps to automated DigitalOcean deployments.
Connect Your Git Repository
Sign in and use the secure repository selector to import your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository automatically.
Add Your Droplet
Enter your Droplet's connection details — via SSH, SFTP, or the DigitalOcean API — and DeployHQ will handle everything else.
Push and Deploy
Push to your repository and DeployHQ deploys your changes to your Droplet automatically. Or trigger deployments manually at any time.
Why Deploy to DigitalOcean with DeployHQ
Everything you need for reliable, automated Droplet deployments.
Automatic Deployments
Every push to your configured branch triggers a deployment to your Droplet — no manual steps, no SSH sessions required.
Build Pipeline
Run build commands in an isolated environment before deploying. Compile assets, install dependencies, and choose your language runtime versions.
Zero Downtime
Atomic deployments ensure your Droplet stays live throughout the entire process. Only changed files are transferred — keeping deploys fast.
SSH Commands
Run custom SSH commands on your Droplet before or after each deployment — restart services, clear caches, run migrations, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does DeployHQ connect to my DigitalOcean Droplet?
DeployHQ connects to your DigitalOcean Droplet via SSH or SFTP using your server credentials, or directly through the DigitalOcean API. Simply add your Droplet as a server in your DeployHQ project, provide the connection details, and DeployHQ will securely transfer and deploy your files on every push.
Can I run commands on my Droplet before or after deployment?
Yes! DeployHQ supports running SSH commands on your Droplet both before and after each deployment. Use pre-deployment commands to put your application into maintenance mode or back up your database, and post-deployment commands to restart services, clear caches, or run database migrations.
Does DeployHQ support zero-downtime deployments to DigitalOcean?
Yes. DeployHQ uses atomic deployments to your DigitalOcean Droplets — files are staged and then switched over in a single operation, so your application stays live throughout the entire deployment process. Only changed files are transferred, keeping deployments fast and your Droplet responsive.
