I am using tugboat to script a poweroff/snapshot of one of my droplets, and everything goes really well until the droplet snapshot completes… then the droplet never powers back on. Is this by design? Is there some state I can look for to indicate the droplet snapshot has completed to then issue the power on command?

Hi @GreymanIndustries
Yes, it’s by design. The “create snapshot” command doesn’t automatically send a “power on” command too.
When you run the create snapshot, in the response body you get an
idof the action. Thisidcan be queried to get thestatuswhich returnsin-progress,completed,errored. Then you can loop that action query and trigger when it’scompletedand send a “power on”.Thanks, Hansen, that worked beautifully! I’m a little bit embarrassed by my inability to RTM, but I really appreciate your taking the time to respond!
