SiteShift
SITESHIFT + DIGITALOCEAN

Droplets, listed and created from SiteShift.

Add a DigitalOcean personal access token and SiteShift lists your droplets — and can create one when you provision a new site. Link it over SSH as root and push a local WordPress site to it.

STEP BY STEP

Link a DigitalOcean droplet

1

Create a personal access token

In the DigitalOcean control panel under API → Tokens. It needs read and write scope — SiteShift uses write to create droplets when you provision a new site.

2

Add DigitalOcean in SiteShift

Hosting → Add account → DigitalOcean → paste the token. It's validated before saving and kept in the encrypted vault on your machine.

3

Pick or create a droplet

New site → Pull from vendor → choose an existing droplet, or create one from SiteShift. Every droplet is listed — SiteShift doesn't filter by image or tag, so nothing valid is hidden.

root@203.0.113.10:22 · /var/www/html

Pull or push

Point the connection at your SSH key, adjust the webroot if needed, then pull the site down or push a local one up. The droplet needs tar, mysqldump and mysql installed.

A freshly created droplet is a bare server: install your web stack (or use a WordPress image from the Marketplace) before the first push.

DigitalOcean questions

No. It creates the droplet and pushes your site's files and database; the web server, PHP and MySQL on the droplet are yours to set up — a 1-Click WordPress image from the Marketplace is the quickest way.

Listing droplets works with read scope; creating them needs write. Pick the scope that matches what you want SiteShift to be able to do.

Connect your host once. Pull, work, push.
