How can you save a digital ocean image? The doc is clear how to create a droplet. But how do you save that image after the droplet is taken down?

TIA,

It may be support for this isn’t part of the modules at this point – honestly, we don’t have a lot of users using DO on production - a lot of dev-test type machines, so that may be the reason for the lag.

Always interested in additions.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the quick reply. I think you’re correct about the support. If I read the docs correctly, there isn’t currently a way to save an image. I’ll look at the code and try to figure out how hard it would be to add that functionality.
