Scrub data when deleting

[jgod]

Maybe it's obvious to some, but not to me and others. When you call "delete" your data is left behind on the vm. There is a scrub_data parameter but by default it is not enabled.

What do you think about adding an optional parameter?

👍 I'm down for this. I can try and get this working, should be pretty straightforward. Should it also be optional when doing vagrant destroy?

[jgod]

Imo something like vagrant destroy --scrub (applies to all) and vagrant destroy app1 --scrub (applies to one) is good syntax so we have flexibility. The intent is clear and it doesn't interfere with existing usage.

[jgod]

I think it's the default option now, however if you still want to pursue it, i think a --scrub=true and --scrub=false would work well

I would also like the option to specify this from the command line. When rebuilding a machine it seems as though it now waits for the previous VM to finish scrubbing data. Has anyone else observed this behavior?

For security reasons - this is enabled by default by DigitalOcean and they do not allow an API parameter around this.
