# 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>
