I’d like to deploy two websites from single github private repo. One website is the admin panel and another website is the main application. Both are subfolders inside the repo

private-repo/
|__ admin/
|__ main/

Hi there,

You are referring to the DigitalOcean App Platform correct?

If so, then the answer is yes, it’s possible to deploy multiple websites from a single GitHub private repo on DigitalOcean’s App Platform. Each application (or service) in the DigitalOcean App Platform is defined in the do-app.yaml manifest file.

You would need a single do-app.yaml file as you can define multiple services within a single manifest file. Each service represents one of your websites.

You will have to specify the source_dir for each of the projects to correspond to the correct location.

Here is a quick example:

name: my-project
services:
- name: admin-panel
  environment_slug: php # or whatever environment you're using
  github:
    repo: username/private-repo
    branch: main
    deploy_on_push: true
  source_dir: admin
  http_routes:
    - path: /
      health_check:
        path: /health
        interval_sec: 10
  # ... any other necessary configurations for the admin panel

- name: main-application
  environment_slug: php # or whatever environment you're using
  github:
    repo: username/private-repo
    branch: main
    deploy_on_push: true
  source_dir: main
  http_routes:
    - path: /
      health_check:
        path: /health
        interval_sec: 10
  # ... any other necessary configurations for the main application

You can also find the documentation for all of the available app specs here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/app-spec/

That way both of the sites will be deployed in separate components but under one app.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Bobby
