Upload image from local fileystem #997

What is the problem this feature would solve? Please describe. Currently the doctl compute image create command just allows to create an image based on a URL. What if I build an image locally or on another droplet. How can I add it as an image?

Describe the solution you'd like Add --image-path as an alternative for --image-url to upload local files as images.

Hi @JohnAZoidberg,

Thanks for the suggestion. Currently the API does not support directly uploading an image. One work around is to first uploaded the image to DigitalOcean Spaces. You can then get a URL and import it from there. For example, we do this in the DigitalOcean importer for Packer.

it's inconvenience for us to upload image by url. i even cannot troubleshoot the uploading issue on control panel.
