+# 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>
