Alternative to @reboot on droplet creation
Hi,
I want to create a droplet via API, run some tasks, then destroy it.
I was intending to run the tasks via a @reboot in crontab but this isn’t working, presumably because it isn’t technically a reboot (it does work if I reboot it immediately after creating it).
What alternative should I use? I need to run a .sh bash file I created.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
*/1 * * * * <command> does not work either, so it looks like I actually need to log into the droplet first…
So the issue seems to be that you have to log into the new droplet first, then change the default password, then it will work, but this is not a suitable solution for me.
Anyone know of any other ways to have tasks immediately from from a droplet creation via API without having to login for a first time?
Thanks.
