Connect to DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean Managed Databases connect over SSL on port 25060. Sign in with DigitalOcean inside PG Orbit and discovery lists your clusters by region — version, size, and endpoint — ready to import.

Get your credentials

In the DigitalOcean control panel, open Databases → your cluster → Connection details. You'll see host (…db.ondigitalocean.com), port 25060, user doadmin, the password, and database defaultdb.

Add the connection in PG Orbit

  1. Easiest: Connections → cloud icon → DigitalOcean → sign in → import your clusters
  2. Manual: tap + to add a connection

Good to know

  • If Trusted Sources is enabled on the cluster, connections are IP-restricted — add your IP, or route through a droplet with Use SSH Tunnel instead.
