A quick script to reboot a Digital Ocean droplet that's being finicky.

reboot_droplet.py

import argparse

import digitalocean


def reboot_droplet(name, client_id, api_key):
    manager = digitalocean.Manager(client_id=client_id, api_key=api_key)

    droplets = manager.get_all_droplets()

    for droplet in droplets:
        if droplet.name == name:
            droplet.reboot()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Reboot DigitalOcean droplet.')
    parser.add_argument('droplet', type=str, help='droplet to reboot.')
    parser.add_argument('--client_id', required=True, dest='client_id', type=str,
                        default=None, help='Digital Ocean client id.')
    parser.add_argument('--api_key', required=True, dest='api_key', type=str,
                        default=None, help='Digital Ocean api key.',)
    args = parser.parse_args()
    reboot_droplet(args.droplet, args.client_id, args.api_key)
