doctl

DigitalOcean CLI. Already installed and configured; invoke as doctl.

Workflow

1. Read the relevant reference file for the resource type
2. Run doctl commands via Bash
3. Use -o json for machine-readable output; default text is fine for display

Global flags

-o json          # JSON output
--no-header      # suppress column headers
--format <cols>  # comma-separated column names to display
--context <name> # auth context (multiple accounts)

Reference files

Load the appropriate file before working with a resource:

Domain	File
Droplets	references/droplets.md
Container Registries	references/registries.md
Spaces (object storage)	references/spaces.md
Firewalls, LBs, VPCs, IPs	references/networking.md
Domains / DNS	references/dns.md

Common lookups

doctl compute region list          # region slugs (nyc3, sfo3, etc.)
doctl compute size list            # Droplet size slugs
doctl compute image list --public  # OS image slugs
doctl account get                  # current auth account
doctl auth list                    # all configured auth contexts
