Digital Ocean

Create Docker machines on Digital Ocean.

You need to create a personal access token under “Apps & API” in the Digital Ocean Control Panel and pass that to docker-machine create with the --digitalocean-access-token option.

Usage

$ docker-machine create --driver digitalocean --digitalocean-access-token=aa9399a2175a93b17b1c86c807e08d3fc4b79876545432a629602f61cf6ccd6b test-this

Options

• --digitalocean-access-token: required Your personal access token for the Digital Ocean API.
• --digitalocean-image: The name of the Digital Ocean image to use.
• --digitalocean-region: The region to create the droplet in, see Regions API for how to get a list.
• --digitalocean-size: The size of the Digital Ocean droplet (larger than default options are of the form 2gb).
• --digitalocean-ipv6: Enable IPv6 support for the droplet.
• --digitalocean-private-networking: Enable private networking support for the droplet.
• --digitalocean-backups: Enable Digital Oceans backups for the droplet.
• --digitalocean-userdata: Path to file containing User Data for the droplet.
• --digitalocean-ssh-user: SSH username.
• --digitalocean-ssh-port: SSH port.
• --digitalocean-ssh-key-fingerprint: Use an existing SSH key instead of creating a new one, see SSH keys.

The DigitalOcean driver will use ubuntu-16-04-x64 as the default image.
