How to Upload SSH Public Keys to a DigitalOcean Team

To upload an SSH key to your DigitalOcean team via the command-line, follow these steps:

1. Install doctl, the DigitalOcean command-line tool.

2. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with doctl.

3. Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                 doctl auth init
               

4. Finally, upload an SSH key to your DigitalOcean team with doctl compute ssh-key create. The basic usage looks like this, but you'll want to read the usage docs for more details:

                 doctl compute ssh-key create <key-name> [flags]
               

To upload an SSH key to your DigitalOcean team using the DigitalOcean API, follow these steps:

1. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with the API.

2. Send a POST request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/account/keys

   cURL

   To upload an SSH key to your DigitalOcean team with cURL, call:

   
                   curl -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
     -d '{"name":"My SSH Public Key","public_key":"ssh-rsa AEXAMPLEaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAQQDDHr/jh2Jy4yALcK4JyWbVkPRaWmhck3IgCoeOO3z1e2dBowLh64QAM+Qb72pxekALga2oi4GvT+TlWNhzPH4V example"}' \
     "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/account/keys" 

   Go

   Go developers can use Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go. To upload an SSH key to your DigitalOcean team with Godo, use the following code:

   
                   import (
       "context"
       "os"
   
       "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
   )
   
   func main() {
       token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")
   
       client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
       ctx := context.TODO()
   
       createRequest := &godo.KeyCreateRequest{
           Name:      "My SSH Public Key",
           PublicKey: "ssh-rsa AEXAMPLEaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAQQDDHr/jh2Jy4yALcK4JyWbVkPRaWmhck3IgCoeOO3z1e2dBowLh64QAM+Qb72pxekALga2oi4GvT+TlWNhzPH4V example",
       }
   
       transfer, _, err := client.Keys.Create(ctx, createRequest)
   }

   Ruby

   Ruby developers can use DropletKit, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Ruby. To upload an SSH key to your DigitalOcean team with DropletKit, use the following code:

   
                   require 'droplet_kit'
   token = ENV['DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN']
   client = DropletKit::Client.new(access_token: token)
   
   ssh_key = DropletKit::SSHKey.new(
     name: 'My SSH Public Key',
     public_key: 'ssh-rsa AEXAMPLEaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAQQDDHr/jh2Jy4yALcK4JyWbVkPRaWmhck3IgCoeOO3z1e2dBowLh64QAM+Qb72pxekALga2oi4GvT+TlWNhzPH4V example'
   )
   client.ssh_keys.create(ssh_key)

   Python

   
                   import os
   from pydo import Client
   
   client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))
   
   req = {
     "public_key": "ssh-rsa AEXAMPLEaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAQQDDHr/jh2Jy4yALcK4JyWbVkPRaWmhck3IgCoeOO3z1e2dBowLh64QAM+Qb72pxekALga2oi4GvT+TlWNhzPH4V example",
     "name": "My SSH Public Key"
   }
   
   resp = client.ssh_keys.create(body=req)
