Hi there, I am currently using the DigitalOcean API to generate sites automatically.
I am generating the site, hooking the domains up etc so I can access the site. When I do access the site I get:
Please log into your droplet via SSH to enable your WordPress installation.
As the sites are being created pragmatically is there anyway I can get around this using the DigitalOcean API?

doctlas it can run locally (I use it on my Macbook Pro) and it can connect via SSH.https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl

I don’t run automation from my MBP right now, though if I were to do so, that’s probably what I’d use. You could wrap a bash script around it to simplify it further (i.e. reduce down common commands).
You could do one of the following which have Wordpress Deployment and quick builds of servers:
https://serverpilot.io/a/9f5b39f72604 (Referral link for me) https://runcloud.io
Both are pretty easy and straight forward, you could do a full WP deployment via their API on ServerPilot, you just would need to call DO to create the Droplet, then ping Serverpilot for the install - some options if nothing else, may not fit, but something to look at/consider.
If you can implement the API, why not implement SSH and execute the commands necessary?
