Digital Ocean
Estimated reading time: 2 minutesCreate 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
When explicitly passing environment variables
export DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN="yourtoken"; export DIGITALOCEAN_SSH_KEY_FINGERPRINT="from your DO's profile security-ssh keys"; \ export DIGITALOCEAN_IMAGE="centos-7-x64"; export DIGITALOCEAN_REGION="tor1"
$ docker-machine create --driver digitalocean --digitalocean-access-token $DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN --digitalocean-ssh-key-fingerprint $DIGITALOCEAN_SSH_KEY_FINGERPRINT --digitalocean-image $DIGITALOCEAN_IMAGE --digitalocean-region $DIGITALOCEAN_REGION
When passing a boolean value to any option
$ docker-machine create --driver digitalocean --digitalocean-access-token=aa9399a2175a93b17b1c86c807e08d3fc4b79876545432a629602f61cf6ccd6b --digitalocean-size 1gb --digitalocean-backups=true test-this
