digitalocean_droplets

Get information on Droplets for use in other resources, with the ability to filter and sort the results. If no filters are specified, all Droplets will be returned.

This data source is useful if the Droplets in question are not managed by Terraform or you need to utilize any of the Droplets’ data.

Note: You can use the digitalocean_droplet data source to obtain metadata about a single Droplet if you already know the id, unique name, or unique tag to retrieve.

Example Usage

Use the filter block with a key string and values list to filter images.

For example to find all Droplets with size s-1vcpu-1gb:

data "digitalocean_droplets" "small" {
  filter {
    key    = "size"
    values = ["s-1vcpu-1gb"]
  }
}

You can filter on multiple fields and sort the results as well:

data "digitalocean_droplets" "small-with-backups" {
  filter {
    key    = "size"
    values = ["s-1vcpu-1gb"]
  }
  filter {
    key    = "backups"
    values = ["true"]
  }
  sort {
    key       = "created_at"
    direction = "desc"
  }
}

Argument Reference

  • filter - (Optional) Filter the results. The filter block is documented below.

  • sort - (Optional) Sort the results. The sort block is documented below.

filter supports the following arguments:

  • key - (Required) Filter the Droplets by this key. This may be one of backups, created_at, disk, id, image, ipv4_address, ipv4_address_private, ipv6, ipv6_address, ipv6_address_private, locked, memory, monitoring, name, price_hourly, price_monthly, private_networking, region, size, status, tags, urn, vcpus, volume_ids, or vpc_uuid.

  • values - (Required) A list of values to match against the key field. Only retrieves Droplets where the key field takes on one or more of the values provided here.

  • match_by - (Optional) One of exact (default), re, or substring. For string-typed fields, specify re to match by using the values as regular expressions, or specify substring to match by treating the values as substrings to find within the string field.

  • all - (Optional) Set to true to require that a field match all of the values instead of just one or more of them. This is useful when matching against multi-valued fields such as lists or sets where you want to ensure that all of the values are present in the list or set.

sort supports the following arguments:

  • key - (Required) Sort the Droplets by this key. This may be one of backups, created_at, disk, id, image, ipv4_address, ipv4_address_private, ipv6, ipv6_address, ipv6_address_private, locked, memory, monitoring, name, price_hourly, price_monthly, private_networking, region, size, status, urn, vcpus, or vpc_uuid.

  • direction - (Required) The sort direction. This may be either asc or desc.

Attributes Reference

  • droplets - A list of Droplets satisfying any filter and sort criteria. Each Droplet has the following attributes:

    • id - The ID of the Droplet.
    • urn - The uniform resource name of the Droplet
    • region - The region the Droplet is running in.
    • image - The Droplet image ID or slug.
    • size - The unique slug that identifies the type of Droplet.
    • disk - The size of the Droplet’s disk in GB.
    • vcpus - The number of the Droplet’s virtual CPUs.
    • memory - The amount of the Droplet’s memory in MB.
    • price_hourly - Droplet hourly price.
    • price_monthly - Droplet monthly price.
    • status - The status of the Droplet.
    • locked - Whether the Droplet is locked.
    • ipv6_address - The Droplet’s public IPv6 address
    • ipv6_address_private - The Droplet’s private IPv6 address
    • ipv4_address - The Droplet’s public IPv4 address
    • ipv4_address_private - The Droplet’s private IPv4 address
    • backups - Whether backups are enabled.
    • ipv6 - Whether IPv6 is enabled.
    • private_networking - Whether private networks are enabled.
    • monitoring - Whether monitoring agent is installed.
    • volume_ids - List of the IDs of each volumes attached to the Droplet.
    • tags - A list of the tags associated to the Droplet.
    • vpc_uuid - The ID of the VPC where the Droplet is located.
