# Digital Ocean Droplet Deployment This is an example deployment using Digital Ocean Droplet using [terraform](https://www.terraform.io/). This deployment will do the following: - 🔥 Create a firewall with required ports open (22 and 8000) - 🐳 Create Droplet with Ubuntu 22 and deploy Chroma using docker compose - 💿 Create a data volume for Chroma data - 🗻 Mount the data volume to the Droplet instance - ✏️ Format the data volume with ext4 - 🏃‍ Start Chroma ## Requirements - [Terraform CLI v1.3.4+](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/gcp-get-started/install-cli) ## Deployment with terraform This deployment uses Ubuntu 22 as foundation, but you'd like to use a different image for your Droplet ( see https://slugs.do-api.dev/ for a list of available images) ### Configuration Options ### 1. Init your terraform state ```bash terraform init ``` ### 2. Deploy your application Generate SSH key to use with your chroma instance (so you can log in to the Droplet): > Note: This is optional. You can use your own existing SSH key if you prefer. ```bash ssh-keygen -t RSA -b 4096 -C "Chroma DO Key" -N "" -f ./chroma-do && chmod 400 ./chroma-do ``` Set up your Terraform variables and deploy your instance: ```bash #take note of this as it must be present in all of the subsequent steps export TF_VAR_do_token= #path to the public key you generated above (or can be different if you want to use your own key) export TF_ssh_public_key="./chroma-do.pub" #path to the private key you generated above (or can be different if you want to use your own key) - used for formatting the Chroma data volume export TF_ssh_private_key="./chroma-do" #set the chroma release to deploy export TF_VAR_chroma_release="0.4.12" # DO region to deploy the chroma instance to export TF_VAR_region="ams2" #enable public access to the chroma instance on port 8000 export TF_VAR_public_access="true" #enable basic auth for the chroma instance export TF_VAR_enable_auth="true" #The auth type to use for the chroma instance (token or basic) export TF_VAR_auth_type="token" terraform apply -auto-approve ``` > Note: Basic Auth is supported by Chroma v0.4.7+ ### 4. Check your public IP and that Chroma is running Get the public IP of your instance ```bash terraform output instance_public_ip ``` Check that chroma is running (It should take up several minutes for the instance to be ready) ```bash export instance_public_ip=$(terraform output instance_public_ip | sed 's/"//g') curl -v http://$instance_public_ip:8000/api/v1/heartbeat ``` #### 4.1 Checking Auth ##### Token When token auth is enabled you can check the get the credentials from Terraform state by running: ```bash terraform output chroma_auth_token ``` You should see something of the form: ```bash PVcQ4qUUnmahXwUgAf3UuYZoMlos6MnF ``` You can then export these credentials: ```bash export CHROMA_AUTH=$(terraform output chroma_auth_token | sed 's/"//g') ``` Using the credentials: ```bash curl -v http://$instance_public_ip:8000/api/v1/collections -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CHROMA_AUTH}" ``` ##### Basic When basic auth is enabled you can check the get the credentials from Terraform state by running: ```bash terraform output chroma_auth_basic ``` You should see something of the form: ```bash chroma:VuA8I}QyNrm0@QLq ``` You can then export these credentials: ```bash export CHROMA_AUTH=$(terraform output chroma_auth_basic | sed 's/"//g') ``` Using the credentials: ```bash curl -v http://$instance_public_ip:8000/api/v1/collections -u "${CHROMA_AUTH}" ``` > Note: Without `-u` you should be getting 401 Unauthorized response #### 4.2 SSH to your instance To SSH to your instance: ```bash ssh -i ./chroma-do root@$instance_public_ip ``` ### 5. Destroy your Chroma instance ```bash terraform destroy -auto-approve ``` ## Extras You can visualize your infrastructure with: ```bash terraform graph | dot -Tsvg > graph.svg ``` > Note: You will need graphviz installed for this to work ### Digital Ocean Resource Types Refs: https://slugs.do-api.dev/
