Bonito

Description

Bonito lives in the Digital Ocean. Some droplets may be needed temporarily, e.g. during working hours, and not in the weekend or overnight. Bonito helps you to shutdown a droplet, snapshot the data and destoy it, paying no cloud costs until the next droplet is started from the last snapshot.

All this can be done on the Digital Ocean's Dashboard, with a few clicks and a lot of patience - the worse is waiting up to 15 minutes for a snapshot to be taken, before deleting the droplet. It's easy to loose patience and forget to destory the droplet at the end, paying for it till the next day. Bonito waits as long as needed and does not loose patience. Besides, I was curious to do something in Go.

Usage

BE CAREFUL, this is in development. Unless --force is specified, all destructive actions ask for confirmation. I use it myself for a couple of weeks now.

Start with bonito --help

First, you need a Digital Ocean authorization token. See https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens dor details. Put the token in environment variable DO_TOKEN_BONITO (export DO_TOKEN_BONITO=A7f9...) or provide in the command line with the option --token (bonito --token A7f9... ...).

Each command has its own help, e.g.:
