A command line tool for interacting with your DigitalOcean droplets.
When Tugboat was created, DigitalOcean was an extremely new cloud provider. They'd only released their public beta back in 2012, and their new SSD backed machines only premiered in early 2013.
Tugboat started out life around that time, back in April 2013. Back then, there were no official libraries for DigitalOcean, and the 1.0 API was a bit unstable and occasionally flakey.
Since then, DigitalOcean has expanded rapidly and has started offering official libraries.
They now have an offically maintained command-line client called doctl.
Some people have asked, where does that leave Tugboat?
If you want the bleeding edge of new features and official support from DigitalOcean engineers, Doctl is the way to go. However, as long as there is one other user out there who likes Tugboat and it's workflow, I will try my darndest to maintain this project, investigate bugs, implement new features and merge pull-requests.
gem install tugboat
Please note that Tugboat version 0.2.0 and up requires Ruby 1.9 or higher.
Run the configuration utility, tugboat authorize. You can grab your keys
here.
$ tugboat authorize
Enter your client key: foo
Enter your API key: bar
Enter your SSH key path (optional, defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter your SSH user (optional, defaults to jack):
Enter your SSH port number (optional, defaults to 22):
To retrieve region, image, size and key ID's, you can use the corresponding tugboat command, such as `tugboat images`.
Defaults can be changed at any time in your ~/.tugboat configuration file.
Enter your default region ID (optional, defaults to 1 (New York)):
Enter your default image ID (optional, defaults to 350076 (Ubuntu 13.04 x64)):
Enter your default size ID (optional, defaults to 66 (512MB)):
Enter your default ssh key IDs (optional, defaults to '', comma separated string):
Authentication with DigitalOcean was successful!
This will create a .tugboat file in your home folder (eg. ~/.tugboat).
Tugboat will look for a .tugboat config file first in the current directory you're running it in, then will look for one in the home directory.
An example of a .tugboat file:
---
authentication:
access_token: f8sazukxeh729ggxh9gjavvzw5cabdpq95txpzhz6ep6jvtquxztfkf2chyejcsg5
ssh:
ssh_user: root
ssh_key_path: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
ssh_port: '22'
defaults:
region: nyc2

ssh_key: ['1234','5678']
private_networking: 'false'
backups_enabled: 'false'

pearkes-web-001 (ip: 30.30.30.1, status: active, region: nyc2, id: 13231511)
pearkes-admin-001 (ip: 30.30.30.3, status: active, region: nyc2, id: 13231512)
pearkes-api-001 (ip: 30.30.30.5, status: active, region: nyc2, id: 13231513)
If you wish to use the droplet listing as part of scripting or munging output, you can use the --porcelain:
$ tugboat droplets --attribute=ip4
pearkes-web-001,30.30.30.1
pearkes-admin-001,30.30.30.3
pearkes-api-001,30.30.30.5
Or --attribute parameter:
$ tugboat droplets --porcelain

id 13231515
status active

region lon1

You can pass a unique fragment of a droplets name for interactions
throughout tugboat.

or by changing your ~/.tugboat.
This lets you ssh into a droplet by providing it's name, or a partial match.

Sometimes you want to wait for a droplet to enter some state, for example "off".
$ tugboat wait admin --state off
Droplet fuzzy name provided. Finding droplet ID...done, 13231512 (pearkes-admin-001)
Waiting for droplet to become off....
...
This will simply block until the droplet returns a state of "off". A period will be printed after each request.
If you're curious about command flags for a specific command, you can ask tugboat about it.
$ tugboat help restart
For a complete overview of all of the available commands, run:
$ tugboat help
Depending on your local configuration, you may need to install a CA bundle (OS X only) using homebrew to communicate with DigitalOcean through SSL/TLS:
$ brew install curl-ca-bundle
After installation, source the bundle path in your .bash_profile/.bashrc:
export SSL_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/opt/curl-ca-bundle/share/ca-bundle.crt
Yes, please!
You can create a new issue here. To help with the investigation of your issue, you can set the environment variable DEBUG to give verbose Faraday logging.
- DEBUG=1 is full unredacted
- DEBUG=2 redacts private keys from the log.
Example:
DEBUG=2 bundle exec tugboat regions
