Assumed you have already get the Digital Ocean API key and SSH key.
digitalocean_token="<your API key>" ssh_key="<your ssh key fingerprint>" Create a droplet
Let's create a droplet. You can find values of available regions, size, distro images from https://slugs.do-api.dev/
droplet_name="<your droplet name>" region="nyc1" size="s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb" image="ubuntu-22-04-x64" # Create droplet curl -s -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${digitalocean_token}" \ -d '{"name":"'"${droplet_name}"'","region":"'"${region}"'","size":"'"${size}"'","image":"'"${image}"'","ssh_keys":["'"${ssh_key}"'"],"backups":false,"ipv6":false,"monitoring":false}' \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets" Get droplet status
We can get the status and wait until it becomes active.
curl -s -X GET \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${digitalocean_token}" \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets?name=${droplet_name}" | jq -r '.droplets[].status' Get the IP address
After it is provisioned, we can get the public IP address.
droplet_ip=$(curl -s -X GET \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${digitalocean_token}" \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets?name=${droplet_name}" | jq -r '.droplets[].networks.v4[] | select(.type == "public") | .ip_address') # Login to droplet ssh -i "${your_ssh_key_path}" root@${droplet_ip} Delete droplet
After we've done with the droplet, delete it to prevent from charging money.
# Get droplet id droplet_id=$(curl -s -X GET \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${digitalocean_token}" \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets?name=${droplet_name}" | jq -r '.droplets[].id') # Delete droplet curl -s -X DELETE \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${digitalocean_token}" \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/${droplet_id}" # It should return no droplet details if it is deleted curl -s -X GET \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${digitalocean_token}" \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets?name=${droplet_name}"
