Hi there!

If you’re using DigitalOcean App Platform, the easiest way to deploy your PyCharm project is by connecting a GitHub or GitLab repo. The App Platform pulls the code from there automatically.

From PyCharm, push your project to a Git repo, then in App Platform, click Create App, choose GitHub/GitLab, and follow the steps to deploy:

If you’re using a Droplet instead, you can use scp or rsync from your terminal to upload the files, or set up Git on the Droplet and push your code that way:

Hope that this helps!

Heya,

That depends on whether you’re planning to use the App Platform or a droplet to host your PyCharm project.

If you’re just starting, I recommend App Platform for simplicity. Once you outgrow it or need custom services, migrate to a Droplet.
