How to find the region of a DigitalOcean droplet?
Jan 8, 2022
The DigitalOcean dashboard does not show the region of already deployed droplets. There is a way to figure this out, though.
- Log in to the dashboard: https://cloud.digitalocean.com
- Navigate to the droplet you want to know the region about.
- Copy the droplet id from the url.
For example, if this is your current url, then 123456789 is the droplet id.
https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/123456789/graphs?i=c00f7c&period=hour - Paste the droplet id in this url
https://cloud.digitalocean.com/api/v1/droplets/123456789 - Find the region name under
droplet -> region -> name
