digitalocean_images

Get information on images for use in other resources (e.g. creating a Droplet based on a snapshot), with the ability to filter and sort the results. If no filters are specified, all images will be returned.

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

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

Example Usage

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

For example to find all Ubuntu images:

data "digitalocean_images" "ubuntu" {
  filter {
    key    = "distribution"
    values = ["Ubuntu"]
  }
}

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

data "digitalocean_images" "available" {
  filter {
    key    = "distribution"
    values = ["Ubuntu"]
  }
  filter {
    key    = "regions"
    values = ["nyc3"]
  }
  sort {
    key       = "created"
    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 images by this key. This may be one of distribution, error_message, id, image, min_disk_size, name, private, regions, size_gigabytes, slug, status, tags, or type.

• values - (Required) A list of values to match against the key field. Only retrieves images 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 images by this key. This may be one of distribution, error_message, id, image, min_disk_size, name, private, size_gigabytes, slug, status, or type.
• direction - (Required) The sort direction. This may be either asc or desc.
