DO4J - DigitalOcean for Java - A Java wrapper for the DigitalOcean API
DigitalOcean is the coolest IaaS cloud provider all around. Built for developers, they offer SSD based virtual machines at initial $5.00/mo! And it's not all! They offer fantastic support, there are lots of tutorials on how to setup your droplets (machines) and they even send you some stickers now and then (I've got mine by mail here in Brazil)!
DO4J (DigitalOcean for Java) is a Java library that allows you to control all your resources at DigitalOcean. You can create, stop, restart and destroy your droplets, search through your own snapshots and backup images, send and update you SSHKeys and much more. All through the web API DigitalOcean has published. Take a look!
First you have to setup your API key and Client Id so DO4J can get access to your DigitalOcean account. This can be made by creating two environment variables:
- DIGITAL_OCEAN_API_KEY
- DIGITAL_OCEAN_CLIENT_ID
You can get your key and id right from DigitalOcean Control Panel. Just log in to your account and go to https://www.digitalocean.com/api_access. Then put those values into the variables and you're all set.
You can always look at the test classes to know more about how to use DO4J.
-- Note: Tests are not yet complete but feel free to fork and contribute :-)
Even so, here comes a little taste of what you can get from this library:
List<Droplet> droplets = DigitalOcean.getDroplets();
for (Droplet droplet : droplet) {
System.out.println("ID: " + droplet.id);
System.out.println("Name: " + droplet.name);
System.out.println("Status: " + droplet.status);
System.out.println("Backups Active? " + droplet.backups_active);
}
// Get a reference for an existing droplet
Droplet webserver = DigitalOcean.getDroplet(12345);
webserver.powerOn();
// create a 512MB RAM droplet with Ubuntu 12.04 64b Server at New York
Droplet database = DigitalOcean.createDroplet("Database", 66, 2676, 1);
database.enableBackups();
