New Digital Ocean and Laravel Forge

I am trying to move to Forge for deployment and the video (server-management-with-forge/episodes/3) demonstrated the ClientID and API Key but Digital Ocean has changed. The V1 of the API is deprecated and it was were the ClientID was displayed.

Is there therefore still a way to use Laravel Forge and Digital Ocean?

I use forge almost daily and spin up new servers and stuff with out issue. Matter of fact forge is hosted on digital ocean.

Things may have been updated but so has forge. It all still works.

@jgravois If you just generated the API token on digital ocean, you generated tokens for their 2.0 API. Try clicking "Digital Ocean 2.0" on Forge.

Hey - I have the same issue - but I don't understand how you solved it...

When I choose 'Digital Ocean (2.0)' I am only asked for the 'Profile Name'. Where did you put the Token??

Thanks!
