CyberOrigen DigitalOcean Deployment Guide

Complete checklist for deploying CyberOrigen to DigitalOcean instead of AWS.

Prerequisites

[ ] DigitalOcean account (use referral link for $200 credit: https://digitalocean.com)
[ ] Domain name with DNS access (e.g., Cloudflare, Namecheap)
[ ] Stripe account (already have - just need to update webhook URLs)
[ ] Anthropic API key (https://console.anthropic.com)
[ ] Resend API key (already have)

Phase 1: Create DigitalOcean Resources

1.1 Create Droplet

Go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/new
Choose:
- Region: NYC1 or closest to your users
- Image: Marketplace → Docker on Ubuntu 22.04
- Size: Basic → Regular → $24/mo (4GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 80GB SSD)
- Authentication: SSH Key (recommended) or Password
- Hostname: cyberorigen-prod
Click "Create Droplet"
Note the IP address: _______________

1.2 Create Managed PostgreSQL (Recommended)

Go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/databases/new
Choose:
- Engine: PostgreSQL 15
- Size: Basic → $15/mo (1GB RAM, 1 vCPU)
- Region: Same as Droplet
- Name: cyberorigen-db
Click "Create Database Cluster"
Wait for provisioning (~5 minutes)
Note connection details:
- Host: _______________
- Port: 25060 (default for managed DB)
- Database: defaultdb (or create cyberorigen)
- User: doadmin
- Password: _______________

Alternative: Run PostgreSQL in Docker (saves $15/mo but less reliable)

1.3 Create Spaces Bucket (S3-Compatible Storage)

Go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/spaces/new
Choose:
- Region: NYC3 (or same region as droplet)
- Name: cyberorigen-evidence
- File Listing: Restricted
Click "Create Space"
Go to API → Spaces Keys → Generate New Key
Note:
- Access Key: _______________
- Secret Key: _______________
- Endpoint: https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com

Phase 2: Configure DNS

2.1 Add DNS Records

In your DNS provider (Cloudflare, Namecheap, etc.):

Type	Name	Value	TTL
A	`backend`	`<DROPLET_IP>`	Auto
A	`app`	`<DROPLET_IP>`	Auto
A	`@`	`<DROPLET_IP>`	Auto (optional, for root domain)

Example for cyberorigen.com:

backend.cyberorigen.com → Droplet IP
app.cyberorigen.com → Droplet IP

2.2 Wait for DNS Propagation

Check propagation: https://dnschecker.org

Phase 3: Server Setup

3.1 SSH into Droplet

bash

ssh root@<DROPLET_IP>

3.2 Create App Directory

bash

mkdir -p /opt/cyberorigen
cd /opt/cyberorigen

3.3 Clone Repository

bash

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/co-development.git .
# Or use deploy key for private repo

3.4 Create Environment File

bash

nano .env

Paste the following (fill in your values):

env

# Backend API
backend.cyberorigen.com {
    reverse_proxy api:8000

    # Security headers
    header {
        X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
        X-Frame-Options "DENY"
        Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
    }
}

# Frontend App
app.cyberorigen.com {
    reverse_proxy frontend:3000

    header {
        X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
        X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
    }
}

# Redirect www to non-www (optional)
www.cyberorigen.com {
    redir https://cyberorigen.com{uri} permanent
}

Phase 4: Deploy

4.1 Build and Start Containers

bash

cd /opt/cyberorigen
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

4.2 Check Container Status

bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f api

4.3 Run Database Migrations

bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec api alembic upgrade head

4.4 Create Platform Admin User

bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec api python -c "
from models.database import SessionLocal, User, Organization
from passlib.context import CryptContext
import uuid

pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=['bcrypt'], deprecated='auto')
db = SessionLocal()

# Create org
org = Organization(
    name='CyberOrigen Platform',
    org_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
    subscription_tier='ENTERPRISE',
    is_active=True
)
db.add(org)
db.commit()

# Create admin
admin = User(
    email='[email protected]',
    username='admin',
    hashed_password=pwd_context.hash('<YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD>'),
    is_platform_admin=True,
    organization_id=org.id,
    is_active=True
)
db.add(admin)
db.commit()
print(f'Admin created: {admin.email}')
db.close()
"

Phase 5: Update External Services

5.1 Update Stripe Webhook

Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks
Update webhook endpoint URL to: https://backend.cyberorigen.com/api/billing/webhook
Note the new webhook secret and update .env

5.2 Update Resend Domain

Verify sending domain in Resend dashboard
Ensure SPF/DKIM records are correct

5.3 Update Frontend API URL

In ui_cyberorigen/vite.config.ts, the proxy should point to production:

typescript

proxy: {
  '/api': {
    target: 'https://backend.cyberorigen.com',
    // ...
  }
}

Phase 6: Testing Checklist

6.1 API Health

bash

curl https://backend.cyberorigen.com/health
# Expected: {"status": "healthy", ...}

6.2 Authentication

bash

curl -X POST https://backend.cyberorigen.com/api/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[email protected]", "password": "<password>"}'
# Expected: {"access_token": "...", ...}

6.3 Frontend

[ ] Open https://app.cyberorigen.com
[ ] Login works
[ ] Dashboard loads
[ ] Scans can be created
[ ] AI chat responds (using Anthropic direct API)

6.4 Stripe

[ ] Billing page loads pricing
[ ] Test checkout flow (use Stripe test mode first)
[ ] Webhooks received (check Stripe dashboard)

6.5 Storage

[ ] Upload evidence file
[ ] File appears in DigitalOcean Spaces bucket
[ ] Download works

Phase 7: Monitoring & Maintenance

7.1 View Logs

bash

# All services
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f

# Specific service
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f api

7.2 Restart Services

bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart api

7.3 Update Deployment

bash

cd /opt/cyberorigen
git pull origin main
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec api alembic upgrade head

7.4 Backup Database

bash

# DigitalOcean Managed DB has automatic backups
# For manual backup:
pg_dump -h <host> -U doadmin -d cyberorigen > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql

Cost Summary

Resource	Monthly Cost
Droplet (4GB)	$24
Managed PostgreSQL	$15
Spaces (250GB included)	$5
Total	$44/mo

Optional additions:

Increase Droplet to 8GB: +$24 (total $48)
Load balancer: +$12
Managed Redis: +$15

Troubleshooting

Container won't start

bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs api
# Check for missing env vars or connection errors

Database connection refused

Check POSTGRES_HOST is the full DO hostname
Ensure Droplet IP is in database trusted sources
Verify port is 25060 (not 5432)

SSL certificate errors

bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs caddy
# Caddy auto-provisions certs, check DNS is correct

AI not responding

Verify AI_TIER_ENFORCEMENT=false
Check ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is valid
Test key: curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages -H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"

Spaces upload fails

Check endpoint is https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com (with region)
Verify access key has write permissions
Ensure MINIO_USE_SSL=true

Quick Reference Commands

bash

# SSH to server
ssh root@<DROPLET_IP>

# Go to app directory
cd /opt/cyberorigen

# View running containers
docker ps

# View logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f

# Restart everything
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart

# Full rebuild
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build --no-cache
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

# Run migrations
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec api alembic upgrade head

# Enter API container shell
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec api bash
