Simple to set up & configurable development machine in the digital ocean.

• Usage
• First time set up
• Launch a development environment
• Teardown

1. Install the Digital Ocean CLI.
2. Generate an access token.
3. Authenticate doctl with your access token.
4. Make sure you have make and curl installed.
5. Install jq.

Run:

make install

This will create the files at ~/.cloud-development-environment required for a basic development box.

For Github access, copy your SSH private key to ~/.cloud-development-environment/files/id_rsa

Add repositories you want cloned:

echo '[email protected]:your/repo.git' >> ~/.cloud-development-environment/files/repos.txt

Add other files or dotfiles you want uploaded:

cp ~/.your-dotfiles ~/.cloud-development-environment/files
cp ../any/other/files  ~/.cloud-development-environment/files

make create

make update

This updates the local JSON info file about the droplet.

make setup

Droplets can take a minute to be SSH-ready. You can check by running make console. This instance can only be set up once the droplet is available for SSH.

make console

make destroy
