DigitalOcean How To Use Doctl, the Official DigitalOcean Command-Line Client

eva2000 · Apr 2, 2016

DigitalOcean folks there's a new official command line tool released, Doctl.

Introduction
DigitalOcean's web based control panel provides a convenient, point-and-click interface for managing Droplets. There are, however, times when a command-line tool may be a preferable alternative: If you have many Droplets to manage, need to administer Droplets from the terminal without a graphical desktop available, or have tasks which would benefit from a scriptable interface.

Enter doctl, the official DigitalOcean command-line client, which leverages the DigitalOcean API to provide access to most account and Droplet features.

This tutorial assumes that you have access to a local client machine with a command-line environment, and an active account. It is intended as a quick guide to getting started with the tool, as well as a reference for most of its operations. Since doctl commands closely parallel the API, you may also benefit from reading the API documentation and How To Use the DigitalOcean API v2.

Warning: At the time of this writing, doctl is still in beta. Features and interface elements are subject to change.
