Hi, I getting started with DigitalOcean V2 API. When I tried create droplet with user data via API, server is created without executed my code. The same code when I did pasted in the browser and created droplet working properly.
This is my code:
$droplet->create('the-name',
'nyc1',
'512mb',
'ubuntu-16-04-x64',
false,
false,
false,
array($key),
'
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update
debconf-set-selections <<< "postfix postfix/mailname string domain.com"
debconf-set-selections <<< "postfix postfix/main_mailer_type string \'Internet Site\'"
apt-get install -y postfix
sudo postconf -e \'home_mailbox= Maildir/\'
sudo postconf -e \'virtual_alias_maps= hash:/etc/postfix/virtual\'
printf "kontakt@e-cleaner.net.pl root" > /etc/postfix/virtual
sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
sudo systemctl restart postfix
sudo apt-get update
sudo ufw allow Postfix
echo \'export MAIL=~/Maildir\' | sudo tee -a /etc/bash.bashrc | sudo tee -a /etc/profile.d/mail.sh
sudo apt-get install s-nail
echo \'init\' | mail -s \'init\' -Snorecord
What is the reason of my problem?

Hi @karolwojtyla820
I don’t see any closing
');
, but I guess you just forgot to copy that. I would guess it has something to do with the escaping of the'
. Try changing all the\'
to"
and\'Internet Site\'
to\"Internet Site\"
. But from what I can remember, you need to#!/bin/bash
on the first line - right now it’s on the second line.Try running this command on the server to see what the user-data actually is:

@karolwojtyla820
Instead of passing the data directly, I’d recommend passing it as a variable and using built-in functions such as
file_get_contents
.For example:
You’d then create a new file called
userdata.sh
and pass the path tofile_get_contents
.
