Question

Is it possible for DigitalOcean Apps to target commits or tags?

Posted January 29, 2021 99 views
DigitalOcean App Platform

Hello,

I’m setting up a production environment using DigitalOcean Apps and I was wondering if it was possible to target a git tag or specific commit in the spec?

Something like so, since tags are branch-like when considering git.

  github:
    branch: v1.0.4
    repo: MyOrg/myrepo

But when trying I get a 

Error: PUT https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/apps/[app-id]: 404 Git branch not found

Is there any way (even undocumented) to target a tag (or if possible, a specific commit on a branch, like main@abcdef94739)?

Thanks,
Mathieu

Hello @otak

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to deploy based on the specific commit or git tags.

    Hello!

    Thank you for your reply.

    From my understanding of the technical matters behind, it’s not possible for the fact that automatic rollback is a feature, and for that to work you need to get the git history of the current “branch”. On tags or commits, you end up in a detached HEAD state and have no access to history in a simple manner, making the feature more complicated to deal with.

    There might be ways to go around it, I’ll explore a bit on if it’s feasible at all and how to do it and post a suggestion with a repro on how to go around it.

    Thanks,

    Have a great day,
    Mathieu
