Question
Can I associate a firewall or firewall rules with a snapshot or Marketplace droplet?

Asked by Richard Schmitt
I understand how to create firewalls and associate them with a droplet. My question is if I make a snapshot or have a Marketplace Droplet can I associate firewall rules with it? I’d like to make deploying a Marketplace Droplet as simple as possible. As it is, I believe I need to provide instructions for manually creating the firewall. Can this be done automatically?

Heya, @richardschmitt
You can also use the DigitalOcean API to automate the creation and association of firewall rules with a Droplet.
Check the API Docs here:

Heya,
You can just create the rules inside the Droplet which will then be used for a Marketplace Dropet.
