Hi there,
There was a similar question asked here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/can-we-add-redis-modules-to-the-managed-redis-service
As the Redis Modules are licensed in a way that managed database services, like what DigitalOcean provides, cannot legally provide them to customers.
The only way to use Redis Modules on DO infrastructure is to setup a normal droplet and install everything by hand:
