We built the DO community site from scratch as there was nothing else out there that offered the tight integration we wanted between presenting content and offering a place to ask questions and discuss. Even though it didn't meet all of our requirements, we're big fans of Discourse. It's a great platform for hosting discussions.

If you're looking for something that follows the Q&A model, there are quite a few StackOverflow inspired sites out there:

Looks great! I made something similar using Python and Gtk+ targeting Ubuntu (https://github.com/andrewsomething/digitalocean-indicator).

You might want to consider moving to v2 of the DigitalOcean API. One nice thing you get is OAuth. It makes connecting to the user's account much more friendly.

You should also submit it to the projects page on the DO community site:

Right. When Sergey Belove originally reported this to DigitalOcean, one of our engineers reported and fixed this in upstream Doorkeeper.

This Wired article gets into the why:

I'm evaluating some different solutions to this problem and would love to hear from anyone who has experience with both this and HTTPretty.

I personally haven't used httpretty, because of the way it had been implemented, I thought it would be impossible for it not to cause bugs in my tests. (Monkey patching socket seems way more complex than patching urllib, or requests)

I am using responses in the CMS Scanner I am building

https://github.com/droope/droopescan

https://github.com/droope/droopescan/blob/master/tests/base_...

I did have to create some helper functions in order to make responses easier to apply to a broad range of tests, those are here:

This one allows you to mock several requests in a more tidy way: https://github.com/droope/droopescan/blob/2cf3f9fd076124e874...

This one is useful for adding responses.activate to all methods in a class: https://github.com/droope/droopescan/blob/2cf3f9fd076124e874...

Overall, it works perfectly (and I've been developing with it for at least half a year), and supports python 3.

I've evaluated some solutions recently. I like Responses, because its API is simple and easy to use.

However we are using directly the Urllib3 library in our code, so I needed to adapt it to mock Urllib3 instead of Requests.

I've published the package: https://github.com/florentx/urllib3-mock

It can be used either with Urllib3 or Requests.

Love it! This is the exact type of thing that we hoped would come from providing the MetaData service.

Please submit it to our projects page so we can highlight it:

The Alpha channel contains some work to interoperate with the DigitalOcean metadata service properly. CoreOS promotes images roughly every two weeks. So in that time, the first Beta will become available on DigitalOcean and about two weeks after that the Stable channel will be available as well.

Droplets running CoreOS will receive automatic updates through the normal CoreOS update service.

As others have pointed out, this question is from a year ago. To be clear, DigitalOcean does not ask anyone to upload scans of their IDs to imgur.

We do occasionally ask customers who have set off our abuse filters to verify their accounts by emailing us scans of their ID. We agree that asking anyone for ID isn't an ideal situation, but unfortunately we deal with a large amount of abusive and fraudulent signups.
