I got a droplet: Ubuntu 16.04 (One-click-apps NodeJS 6.12.3 with monitoring)
I have setup a tag for that droplet: gmseserver All good, you can see it it the control panel.
doctl is installed via snap (version: doctl version 1.8.2-stable)
Now when I try to setup a firewall:
doctl compute firewall create --name "server-firewall" --tag-names "gmseserver" --inbound-rules "protocol:tcp,ports:22,address:0.0.0.0/0,address:::/0" --outbound-rules "protocol:icmp,address:0.0.0.0/0,address:::/0 protocol:tcp,ports:all,address:0.0.0.0/0,address:::/0 protocol:udp,ports:all,address:0.0.0.0/0,address:::/0"
I get the error:
Error: POST https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/firewalls: 422 (request "864bf621-d9a2-46d9-a652-f74b14ebd3f5") missing name
Tested to set the name as serverfirewall don’t help. Tested to use --droplet-ids <DROPLET ID> instead don’t help. Tested to remove each space and put a new space in place (in case of hidden chars) Same error on all tests.
I use Putty with SSH.
What could be the problem?

Hello, @Knight81
Can you try to use the same command but with the name not in quotes, e.g
doctl compute firewall create --name firewall_name
Let me know how it goes.
Regards, Alex
