How do I reboot a DigitalOcean droplet?

Short answer: You can reboot droplet in DigitalOcean by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the DigitalOcean Reboot Droplet action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Reboot Droplet.

What does the Reboot Droplet action do in DigitalOcean?

Sends ACPI shutdown then powers back on — disk persists. Useful for "weekly maintenance restart" workflows or for "service hung, try reboot" incident-response patterns.

What inputs does Reboot Droplet require?

Required: Droplet ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if DigitalOcean returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message DigitalOcean returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Reboot Droplet support batch operations?

Run Reboot Droplet inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within DigitalOcean's rate limits.
