On Google/EC2 I run a bash script to setup a server and after reading https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-droplet-metadata it seems like I can do that on DigitalOcean too.
I’m running into an issue though where the script isn’t running however and I can’t find where the logs are. On Google/EC2 they’re in /var/log/messages on CentOS but I couldn’t find anything in there on DO and the install.log files in /root/ don’t have anything about the script either.
The user-data I’m trying to run is:
#!/bin/bash
curl {script url} | sh
If I log into the box and run that curl/pipe it works fine. I’m using the Control Panel to create the droplet. Is there something I’m missing? Thanks!
