Feature Request: doctl compute domain create <domain> --droplet-name <droplet-name>
Currently I see no way to fetch and store the IP address from a newly created droplet in order to automate the droplet creation and setting up a domain.
My suggestion is this; add the functionality to specify a droplet name when you are setting up a domain.
Instead of only doing create domain_name --ip-address droplet_ip_address.
We could specify the droplet name in a similar manner: create domain_name --droplet-name droplet_name
That being said, I welcome any suggestion for fetching the IP address in its purest form, so that I may use that to run with --ip-address :)
@ivanskodje apologies for the delay.
Interesting feature request. I could see it implemented with the droplet id instead of the name.
In the meantime you can do:
doctl compute domain create test.shark.codes --ip-address $(doctl compute droplet get 127650102 --format PublicIPv4 --no-header)
