Asked by Hein
It looks like the doctl CLI does not support creation of a new droplet based on a snapshot. Is there any other way to achieve the same?
Usage: doctl compute droplet create <droplet-name> [droplet-name …] [flags] Aliases: create, c Flags: –enable-backups Backup droplet –enable-ipv6 IPv6 support –enable-monitoring Monitoring –enable-private-networking Private networking –format string Columns for output in a comma separated list. Possible values: ID,Name,PublicIPv4,PrivateIPv4,PublicIPv6,Memory,VCPUs,Disk,Region,Image,Status,Tags –image string Droplet image (required) –no-header hide headers –region string Droplet region (required) –size string Droplet size (required) –ssh-keys value SSH Keys or fingerprints (default []) –tag-name string Tag name –tag-names value Tag names (default []) –user-data string User data –user-data-file string User data file –volumes value Volumes to attach (default []) –wait Wait for droplet to be created
