title: Calico on Digital Ocean | ||
--- | ||
|
||
Calico is designed to provide high performance massively scalable virtual | ||
networking for containers in public cloud environments such as Digital Ocean. | ||
|
||
## How to Run Calico in Digital Ocean | ||
|
||
Digital Ocean offers two networking options for droplets: | ||
|
||
- Public Interface | ||
- Private Interface | ||
|
||
Calico can be launched on either. | ||
We recommend running Calico on the private interface, as it enhances security by | ||
ensuring Calico services are not accessible from the wider internet. | ||
|
||
However, hosts in different Datacenter Regions will not have IP connectivity with one | ||
another through their private address, and therefore will not be able to establish | ||
BGP sessions with one another. For mluti-region Digital Ocean clusters, | ||
bind Calico to the public interface. | ||
|
||
###### Enable Encapsulation | ||
|
||
In Digital Ocean, cross-host container-to-container traffic will travel over at least one | ||
L3 hop. Since Digital Ocean does not allow peering to its networking fabric, it will | ||
not know how to route this container traffic, and will drop it. | ||
|
||
To remedy this, Calico can encapsulate container traffic with the IP so that the | ||
networking fabric never sees the container IPs, allowing standard routing to | ||
take over. Turn on traffic encapsulation in pool settings by enabling: | ||
|
||
- `ipip` for container-to-container traffic. | ||
- `nat-outgoing` for container-to-droplet traffic. | ||
|
||
See [pool configuration]({{site.baseurl}}/{{page.version}}/reference/calicoctl/resources/ippool) for information on how to enable this for IP pools. | ||
|
||
###### Ensure Calico Chooses Correct IP | ||
|
||
Note that calicoctl's automatic IP detection will launch calico/node on the private | ||
address if the droplet is configured to have a private interface. | ||
|
||
Ensure you manually specify `--ip` when launching `calicoctl node run` if you | ||
want it to bind to the public interface. | ||
