Unable to use compute ssh about action-doctl

[ben-joostens]

Ah, I see, I was hoping that there were no keys involved since it requires an access token. In fact, that was exactly why I was trying to use it. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll switch to an SSH action.

In order to SSH into a Droplet, doctl needs access to the private half of the SSH key pair whose public half is on the Droplet. Currently the doctl Action is based on a Docker container. If you were using the Docker container directly, you could invoke it with:

docker run --rm --interactive --tty \
  --env=DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN=<YOUR-DO-API-TOKEN> \
  -v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa \
  digitalocean/doctl compute ssh <DROPLET-ID>

in order to mount the SSH key from outside the container.

You might be better off just using doctl to grap the Droplet's IP address and using this Action that is more focused on SSH related use cases and provides a lot of additional functionality: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ssh-remote-commands
