This is the plugin Gem to talk to Digitalocean clouds via fog.

The main maintainers for the Digitalocean sections are @jjasghar and @h0lyalg0rithm. Please send CC them on pull requests.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fog-digitalocean'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fog-digitalocean

Usage

Initial Setup

Getting started: the compute service

You'll need a DigitalOcean account and an API token to use this provider.

Get one from https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/tokens/new

Write down the Access Token.

Connecting, retrieving and managing server objects

Before we start, I guess it will be useful to the reader to know that Fog servers are 'droplets' in DigitalOcean's parlance. 'Server' is the Fog way to name VMs, and we have respected that in the DigitalOcean's Fog provider.

First, create a connection to the host:

require 'fog'

docean = Fog::Compute.new({
  :provider => 'DigitalOcean',
  :digitalocean_token   => 'poiuweoruwoeiuroiwuer', # your Access Token here
})

SSH Key Management

Access to DigitalOcean servers can be managed with SSH keys. These can be assigned to servers at creation time so you can access them without having to use a password.

Creating a key:

docean.ssh_keys.create(
  :name        => 'Default SSH Key',
  :ssh_pub_key => File.read('~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'))
)

Listing all keys:

docean.ssh_keys.each do | key |
  puts key.name
  puts key.public_key
  puts key.id
end

Destroying a key:

docean.ssh_keys.destroy(:id => '27100')

Listing servers

Listing servers and attributes:

docean.servers.each do |server|
  # remember, servers are droplets
  puts server.id
  puts server.name
  puts server.status
  puts (server.image['slug'] || server.image['name']) # slug is only for public images, private images use name
  puts server.size['slug']
  puts server.region['slug']
end

Server creation and life-cycle management

Creating a new server (droplet):

server = docean.servers.create :name => 'foobar',
                               # use the last image listed
                               :image  => docean.images.last.id,
                               # use the first flavor (aka size) listed
                               :size => docean.flavors.first.slug,
                               # use the first region listed
                               :region => docean.regions.first.slug

The server is automatically started after that.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
