DigitalOcean Marketplace Partner Tools

MIT license Pull Requests Welcome

This repository contains resources for DigitalOcean Marketplace partners, like documentation on image requirements and creation, tools for image cleanup and validation, and templates for build automation.

Getting Started

The overall process for creating a Marketplace image is as follows:

  1. Create and configure a build Droplet manually first to make sure your configuration works. You can create a build Droplet with any method, like the control panel, the API, or command-line tools like doctl.

  2. Clean up and validate the build Droplet with the provided scripts, cleanup.sh and img_check.sh. The scripts will check for and fix potential security concerns and verify that the image will be compatible with Marketplace.

  3. Take a snapshot of the build Droplet after you power it down, then test the resulting image. While there are several ways to create an image, we recommend snapshots as the most simple and consistent option.

  4. Submit your final image to the Marketplace team for review.

This repo also contains:

Supported Operating Systems

To maintain compatibility with Marketplace tools and processes, we support a limited number of Linux distributions and releases for Marketplace images. These options provide either deb- or rpm-based packaging and will have security patches and updates for a reasonable time period.

We currently support the following OSes:

  • Debian 9 (stretch)
  • Debian 10 (buster)
  • Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS)
  • Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS)
  • Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS)
  • CentOS 7.x

All supported operating systems are available as base images to build on in the DigitalOcean cloud.

Software Prerequisites

The following software packages are necessary for the initial configuration of new Droplets and to ensure connectivity:

  • cloud-init 0.76 or higher (0.79 or higher recommended)
  • openssh-server (SFTP-enabled configuration recommended)

All of these packages are provided by default in the default DigitalOcean base images.

Caveats

Avoid building architecture specific components into your 1-Click App, as your App may be run by DigitalOcean customers across a variety of operating systems and underlying hypervisors. You should use generic machine architecture to ensure consistent use across all infrastructure.

For example, avoid building ruby gems with native extensions as the underlying machine architecture may use flags that don't exist across all hypervisors.
