hello all,

was trying to store, secure and use my DigitalOcean API Key for VM creation. this is what i had done.
it may not be the best but works for me. if you have better alternative, appreciate that you can share.

INSTRUCTION STEPS

Background:

  • i install VirtualBox on my Windows10 box
  • i am using ubunutu 14.04 as the VM to run docker-machine from
  1. install ccrypt

    apt-get install ccrypt

  2. create a file to store my API Key for DigitalOcean “myAPIkey” with a password

    ccrypt ./myAPIkey -e

  3. command i used to create mb VM in DigitalOcean

    /usr/local/bin# docker-machine create --driver digitalocean \

     --digitalocean-access-token=`ccrypt myAPIkey.cpt -d -c` test001

Enter decryption key: xxxxxxx
