How To Deploy a Static Website to the Cloud with DigitalOcean App Platform

I have only one file index.html in my git repo. When I go to step 3 “Configure your app” there is no Static Site type selected. It shows the text that Static assets detected but in select there is no options. Is this a bug?

I tried to reproduce this with a repo that contains just an index.html file (https://github.com/snormore/sample-html), but it was detected as a Static Site component type during the create flow and deployed successfully: https://sample-html-g3yz2.ondigitalocean.app/

If your repo is public, and you can share it with me, then I can fork it and see if I can spot the problem from here. Otherwise, I’d suggest reaching out to DO Support so we can take a look at your app specifically.
