PD DigitalOcean App Platform for WHMCS: getting started
PD DigitalOcean App Platform lets you offer DigitalOcean App Platform applications through WHMCS, using DigitalOcean. It suits deploying an application from a public Git repository or a container image, with the resource linked to the customer’s service.
Before you start
Install PD Modules for WHMCS first, connect the account that holds your licence, then install PD DigitalOcean App Platform from its Store. Allow the administrator role that needs to use it.
You also need a DigitalOcean account, an authorised API token and a supported application source. Check the provider account’s permissions, available locations and capacity before enabling automatic provisioning.
Connect the account
Add the provider connection under System Settings → Servers, selecting this module for the server record. Assign the appropriate server group to the product. Keep provider credentials on the connection, separate from the product’s resource defaults.
Define what the customer receives
Create a product using PD DigitalOcean App Platform and review its Module Settings and configurable options. Start with Region, Instance plan and Instances. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.
Application source and runtime sizing are separate choices. Check both before offering a plan to customers.
Choose which client controls the product exposes. If you offer configurable options, check that their values match the module’s supported choices and that the defaults describe the service you intend to sell.
Put the service into use
Set the product’s automatic-setup behaviour deliberately. If you want provisioning after payment, select that option rather than leaving setup manual. Keep the normal cron running for subsequent status and usage updates.
Check the first service
Review the deployment result and application URL. If a build fails, inspect the deployment information before changing the billing package.
Creating a real service creates provider resources and can incur provider charges. Review the configuration first; use your normal controlled test process for the first provisioning rather than making an order solely to browse the settings.
