DigitalOcean token management change

[ntnsndr]

I just saw that DigitalOcean is changing its API token management. Is this something we have to act on if we use DigitalOcean API access for Cloudron?

I think nothing needs to be done. But they encourage you to go ahead and create a new token because new ones have extra feature like token expiry (and maybe even scopes).

It just says "We encourage you to revoke any old tokens no longer in use and re-generate your existing tokens at your earliest convenience."

@girish it seems the old style tokens will be revoked end of March next year.

@nebulon ah ok. is that information somewhere in that post? I re-read and can't see it in that post.

@girish it seems to only be in the email notification: "On March 31, 2023, DigitalOcean users with legacy API tokens will lose read and write access to APIs."

Any further thoughts on this? It isn't clear to me when the cutoff is for tokens being old. But my main Cloudron token is 4 years old. If I regenerate it in DigitalOcean, what do I do to update it on Cloudron? Just in Domains and Certs, or somewhere else?

[girish]

@ntnsndr yes, just in the domains view.

@girish Thanks—seems to be working.
