The DigitalOcean dashboard does not show the region of already deployed droplets. There is a way to figure this out, though.

  1. Log in to the dashboard: https://cloud.digitalocean.com
  2. Navigate to the droplet you want to know the region about.
  3. 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
  4. Paste the droplet id in this url
    https://cloud.digitalocean.com/api/v1/droplets/123456789
  5. Find the region name under droplet -> region -> name.
