doctl compute image

Generated on 20 March 2024 from doctl v1.104.0 ( 5d5b24a )

Description

The sub-commands of doctl compute image manage images. A DigitalOcean image can be used to create a Droplet.

Currently, there are five types of images: snapshots, backups, custom images, distributions, and one-click application.

Snapshots provide a full copy of an existing Droplet instance taken on demand.
Backups are similar to snapshots but are created automatically at regular intervals when enabled for a Droplet.
Custom images are Linux-based virtual machine images that you may upload for use on DigitalOcean. We support the following formats: raw, qcow2, vhdx, vdi, or vmdk.
Distributions are the public Linux distributions that are available to be used as a base to create Droplets.
Applications, or one-click apps, are distributions pre-configured with additional software, such as WordPress, Django, or Flask.
