I am running the following code through a node js script
axios('https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets', {
method: 'POST',
headers: headers_variable,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
data: {
"name": "bleh.com",
"region": "nyc3",
"size": "s-6vcpu-16gb",
"image": "45204331",
"ssh_keys": [
24240690
],
"backups": false,
"ipv6": false,
"user_data": `
#cloud-config
runcmd:
- touch test.txt
`;,
"private_networking": null,
"volumes": null,
"tags": [
"web"
]
}
})
.then( res => console.log(res.data))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
Although the droplet is created, the user-data commands never run. How can I fix this?

Greetings!
I just tested this in the user-data via cloud panel:
#cloud-config
runcmd:
- touch test.txt
Confirmed that the script is at least working there:

With that, I have a couple of questions:
- Did you check system root? Since you didn’t specify a path, it would create there (/).
- How can I most easily replicate your setup to test?
