Flowtriq DDoS Detection Agent - DigitalOcean 1-Click App

Integration Guide | Documentation | Sign Up

DigitalOcean Marketplace image for deploying ftagent, the Flowtriq DDoS detection agent.

What it does

This 1-Click App pre-installs ftagent on an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Droplet. On first SSH login, users are prompted to run sudo ftagent --setup and connect to their Flowtriq dashboard.

Building the image

1. Install Packer (1.9+).

2. Export your DigitalOcean API token:

export DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN="your-token-here"

3. Initialize and build:

cd packer
packer init template.pkr.hcl
packer build template.pkr.hcl

The build creates a snapshot in your DigitalOcean account. Override defaults with -var:

packer build -var 'region=nyc3' -var 'size=s-2vcpu-2gb' template.pkr.hcl
