I got “ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 22: Operation timed out” in my app in App Platform.
My app needs to execute commands on servers outside via ssh protocol.

Hey @immysec,
unfortunately, it’s not possible to SSH into a component because SSH is not enabled. I believe a similar question was asked before in our community which you can check here:

Hope that helps!
Hello,
The App Platform does not come with SSH access, you can access your components via the web console as described here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/concepts/console/
The App Platform is based on Kubernetes, and you can think of your services as immutable. Meaning that if you need to make any changes, you just push your code to GitHub and then it gets auto deployed to the App Platform.
If you need to have SSH access, you could always go with a Droplet, but in this case, you will need to manage your server and deployments.
Best,
Bobby
