Runners
DigitalOcean Droplet
Runner group kind backend_type=do_droplet — one Droplet per execution (beta)
backend_type: do_droplet. Connection: DigitalOcean. Status: beta.
Each execution is a Droplet. Warm-pool reconcile for this kind is a sibling port of the EC2 VM controller and may not be running on live groups yet.
When to choose it
- You want a VM on DigitalOcean rather than an App Platform Job.
- Cost-sensitive or small-fleet CI.
Choose DO App Job for job-shaped App Platform compute.
Connection
A DigitalOcean API-token connection.
