# DigitalOcean Builder
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `digitalocean`
|
||||
|
||||
The `digitalocean` builder is able to create new images for use with
|
||||
[DigitalOcean](http://www.digitalocean.com). The builder takes a source
|
||||
image, runs any provisioning necessary on the image after launching it,
|
||||
then snapshots it into a reusable image. This reusable image can then be
|
||||
used as the foundation of new servers that are launched within DigitalOcean.
|
||||
|
||||
The builder does _not_ manage images. Once it creates an image, it is up to
|
||||
you to use it or delete it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Reference
|
||||
|
||||
There are many configuration options available for the builder. They are
|
||||
segmented below into two categories: required and optional parameters. Within
|
||||
each category, the available configuration keys are alphabetized.
|
||||
|
||||
Required:
|
||||
|
||||
* `api_key` (string) - The API key to use to access your account. You can
|
||||
retrieve this on the "API" page visible after logging into your account
|
||||
on DigitalOcean.
|
||||
|
||||
* `client_id` (string) - The client ID to use to access your account. You can
|
||||
find this on the "API" page visible after logging into your account on
|
||||
DigitalOcean.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
* `event_delay` (string) - The delay, as a duration string, before checking
|
||||
the status of an event. DigitalOcean's current API has consistency issues
|
||||
where events take time to appear after being created. This defaults to "5s"
|
||||
and generally shouldn't have to be changed.
|
||||
|
||||
* `image_id` (int) - The ID of the base image to use. This is the image that
|
||||
will be used to launch a new droplet and provision it. Defaults to "284203",
|
||||
which happens to be "Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Server."
|
||||
|
||||
* `region_id` (int) - The ID of the region to launch the droplet in. Consequently,
|
||||
this is the region where the snapshot will be available. This defaults to
|
||||
"1", which is "New York."
|
||||
|
||||
* `size_id` (int) - The ID of the droplet size to use. This defaults to "66,"
|
||||
which is the 512MB droplet.
|
||||
|
||||
* `snapshot_name` (string) - The name of the resulting snapshot that will
|
||||
appear in your account. This must be unique. To help make this unique,
|
||||
certain template parameters are available for this value, and are documented
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
* `ssh_port` (int) - The port that SSH will be available on. Defaults to port
|
||||
22.
|
||||
|
||||
* `ssh_timeout` (string) - The time to wait for SSH to become available
|
||||
before timing out. The format of this value is a duration such as "5s"
|
||||
or "5m". The default SSH timeout is "1m".
|
||||
|
||||
* `ssh_username` (string) - The username to use in order to communicate
|
||||
over SSH to the running droplet. Default is "root".
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Example
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a basic example. It is completely valid as soon as you enter your
|
||||
own access tokens:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre class="prettyprint">
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "digitalocean",
|
||||
"client_id": "YOUR CLIENT ID",
|
||||
"api_key": "YOUR API KEY"
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
