do-obsd

DigitalOcean observability supervisor. Manages the lifecycle of the OpenTelemetry Collector (do-otelcol) on Droplets.

Overview

do-obsd is a lightweight Go daemon that:

• Installs the collector binary at startup (OpAMP binary delivery path)
• Starts and stops do-otelcol.service via systemd using least-privilege sudo (scoped to do-otelcol.service only — see configure_sudoers in packaging/scripts/after_install.sh)
• Runs as an isolated do-obsd system user; collector runs as do-otelcol

Compatibility

do-obsd currently supports:

• Ubuntu (oldest End Of Standard Support LTS release and later)
• Debian (oldest supported LTS release and later)
• Fedora 42+
• CentOS Stream 9+
• AlmaLinux 8+
• Rocky Linux 8+

systemd is required — the package uses systemd units for service management and systemd timers for automatic updates.
