How do I download a DigitalOcean database?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:59 pm

If you want to download a DigitalOcean database, you can use the following command:

curl -LO https://github.com/DigitalOcean/droplet-downloads/raw/master/droplet-downloads.sh

To use this script, you will need the DigitalOcean API key and Droplet ID. You can get these by logging in to your DigitalOcean account and going to the Account page.

PRO TIP: Before downloading a DigitalOcean database, you should ensure that you have the correct permissions in place. Additionally, you should take care to download the database to a secure location.

Under the API Keys heading, you will see a list of keys. Click on the name of the key to see the Droplet ID.

To use the script, you will also need the URL of the Droplet’s instance. This can be found on the Droplet’s Status page. The URL will look like this:

https://droplet-name.DigitalOcean.com/

Once you have the Droplet ID and URL, you can run the script by entering the Droplet ID and hitting Enter. The script will then download the database.
