Digitalocean transport plugin for Train

This plugin allows applications that rely on Train to communicate with the Digitalocean API. For example, InSpec uses this to perform compliance checks against Digitalocean infrastructure. Train plugins are managed by InSpec CLI.

Usage

When used in combination with the InSpec Digitalocean resource pack you can e.g. verify droplets:

describe digitalocean_droplet(id: '123456') do
  it { should exist }
  its('name') { should eq 'nginx-web-ams3' }
  its('image') { should eq 'ubuntu-16-04-x64' }
  its('region') { should eq 'ams3' }
  its('size') { should eq 's-1vcpu-1gb' }
end

Preconditions

• InSpec 3 or later.
• Digitalocean API key

Installation

Train plugins are distributed as gems. You may choose to manage the gem yourself, but if you are an InSpec user, InSPec can handle it for you.

Simply run:

$ inspec plugin install train-digitalocean

In order to use this example, you need to create a DigitalOcean API Token and export it as an environment variable.

export DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN="Put Your Token Here" 

Verify the plugin and the connection to Digitalocean

$ inspec detect -t digitalocean://
