How to copy files from app platform to local machine

Posted on March 27, 2025

I have an app running on app platform but the local and remote repository no longer exist. I can connect to the running app via doctl. Is it at all possible to copy the files from app platform to my local machine?

Heya, @edwardnarrdo

Unfortunately, DigitalOcean App Platform does not provide direct access to the runtime file system of deployed applications.

Was the application deployed from GitHub repository or maybe via docker image?
