I want to create a snapshot of my droplet, but I can’t power off the droplet.
I have this api command, and I have a client id and api key, but how can I find out the ID of my droplet?
My droplet has the name I gave it, but I can’t find its ID anywhere.
Also, I’m on Windows using putty to ssh to my droplet. After logging in, do I execute the api command there? Or do I execute the command in the browser? I ask this because the api commands start with https.
Thanks in advance!
