I am experimenting with setting up a PHP service on the app platform.
I have connected it to a gitlab repository and it builds and deploys well, but I have run into several issues:
- The (DO managed) (sub-)domain does not work. I get the following error: This site can’t provide a secure connection. While SSL works fine with the supplied ondigitalocean.app subdomain
- I would like to setup url rewriting, but I can’t find any documentation on how to do so
- Also I would like to manage the app spec from within the repository. I have found a sample somewhere where the file is stored in .do/app.yaml, but that doesn’t seem to work
Documentation is quite scarce unfortunately, I hope someone can answer my questions. Thanks!

Hey there!
For your subdomain I’d recommend reaching out to our support team to check what may be blocking the SSL from being issued.
Unfortunately URL rewriting is not supported in App Platform at this time. I’d suggest you add this ideas to our ideas page: Ideas
App specs stored in a repo are currently used for the deploy to DO button button: How to Add a “Deploy to DigitalOcean” Button to Your Repository
Using an app spec stored in your repo can’t be used to deploy an app outside of the deploy to DO button. You can us DOCTL to build an app from the spec however: doctl apps
Hope it helps! Nate
