How to get droplet name in bash?

You’d need to use the DO API v2 for this. A simple curl to the API would get you the droplet name.

Cheers

Yes it’s doable. The droplet listing API call will get you all droplets in the account and their respective IPs. So from the droplet itself get the IP:

# Make sure to: yum install net-tools
IP=$(ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet "|awk '{print $2}')

Then call the API to get the droplet list and match the droplet with the IP from above.

JSON=$(curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets?page=1&per_page=1")
