doctl auth init freezes after OK on Windows
Fixes doctl auth init freezing after printing OK on Windows. Use this when the interactive init accepts the token but never returns to the prompt. Not for auth rejections or non-Windows installs.

This was a real bug: when the new registries command was added, its subcommands registered flags under the same names in the shared viper/pflag global table, so the delete-manifest --force flag got swallowed and the confirmation prompt showed anyway. The fix is to upgrade to doctl 1.145.0 or later, where a maintainer …

Running doctl registry repository delete-manifest my-registry/my-repo sha256:... on doctl 1.142.0 kept prompting for confirmation even though I passed --force. The docs for the command said --force should suppress the prompt, so it looked like the flag was being ignored. Another reporter identified it as a flag collis…

The auth init flow was hanging on Windows after the token validated, so the fix is to skip the interactive flow entirely. Create the config file yourself at %appdata%\doctl\config.yaml with just the access-token entry, then run doctl normally.

On Windows 10 I installed doctl 1.48.1 from the releases page and ran doctl auth init. It accepted my API token and printed OK, then froze and never returned to the prompt, so I had to kill the CMD window. Running with --trace showed the API call returned 200 OK, so auth worked but the init never finished. The reporte…

doctl has no single flag for this because under the hood it does two API calls: POST /v2/droplets to create the droplet, then POST /v2/projects/$PROJECT_ID/resources to assign it to the project. So the way to do it yourself is to create the droplet normally, then assign it with doctl compute droplet add-to-project or …

DigitalOcean groups droplets into projects, but doctl compute droplet create puts new droplets in the default project and I couldnt see any flag to pick a different one. I wanted to create a droplet directly inside a specific project from the CLI. The thread is old (from 2019, closed 2024) but a maintainer answered ho…
