Image ids

Posted on April 18, 2014

Hi,

For creating a droplet with distribution Ubuntu 13.10 x64 I usually used image_id ‘1505699’. However, it seems that this image_id is changed. When I create a droplet with this I get the following error.

–> digitalocean: Error creating droplet: Received error from DigitalOcean (404): You specified an invalid image for Droplet creation.

To solve this problem I had to fetch all the images and find out that this distribution has a new image_id called ‘3101918’. Is there anything changed?

All our images were recently updated to include new versions of OpenSSL that are patched against the Heartbleed bug. That’s probably why the ID changed :]
