Exporting App Platform Configuration

Posted on October 7, 2023
Configuration Management DigitalOcean App Platform
Asked by Daniel Olshansky

Is there a way to easily export all parts of an App on Digital Ocean?

I’d like for it to include things like:

Name
Environment Variables
AppSec configs
Resources
Etc…

I realize there are ways to do this manually via the UI or putting together a script leveraging a few different doctl commands, but wanted to ask here if there is a simpler approach that I may have overlooked in the docs.

Hi there,

I believe that using doctl should work:

doctl apps spec get <app id>

Use this command to retrieve the latest spec of an app. If you don’t have your app ID, you can get it with doctl aps list.

Alternatively, you should also be able to do this via the DigitalOcean Control Panel:

Go to Apps.
Click on your App.
Then go to settings.
After that click on the App icon on the left, rather than an individual component:
Then scroll down to the ‘App Spec’ section and click edit.
There you should be able to see your complete app spec file.
