Custom Images (Snapshots)

After building with --snapshot:

fleex build run -r security-tools -n build --snapshot

List your snapshots:

fleex images ls -p digitalocean

Use snapshot ID in config:

"image": "12345678"

Example Configuration

Recommended configuration for bug bounty:

{
  "settings": {
    "provider": "digitalocean"
  },
  "providers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "token": "YOUR_TOKEN",
      "region": "nyc1",
      "size": "s-1vcpu-1gb",
      "image": "ubuntu-22-04-x64",
      "port": 22,
      "username": "root"
    }
  }
}

Cost Examples

Fleet Size	Droplet	Hourly Cost	Daily Cost
10	s-1vcpu-1gb	$0.074	$1.79
20	s-1vcpu-1gb	$0.149	$3.57
50	s-1vcpu-1gb	$0.372	$8.93
10	s-2vcpu-2gb	$0.268	$6.43

Use fleex estimate to calculate costs:

fleex estimate -t targets.txt -i 10 -p digitalocean

Workflow Example

Complete workflow using DigitalOcean:

# Initialize
fleex init --wizard

# Estimate cost
fleex estimate -t targets.txt -i 20 --tool nuclei -p digitalocean

# Spawn and build
fleex spawn -n scan -c 20 -p digitalocean --build security-tools

# Verify fleet
fleex status scan

# Run scan
fleex scan -n scan --workflow quick-scan -i targets.txt -o results.txt

# Clean up
fleex delete -n scan

Troubleshooting

Droplet Limit

Default limit is 10 droplets. To increase:

1. Go to Account Settings
2. Click "Request Increase"
3. Request higher droplet limit

SSH Connection Issues

If SSH fails:

1. Check droplet status: fleex status
2. Verify SSH key was added
3. Try explicit port: fleex ssh -n instance-1 --port 22

Snapshot Not Found

If custom snapshot fails:

1. List snapshots: fleex images ls -p digitalocean
2. Verify snapshot ID is numeric (not private/)
3. Check snapshot is in same region
