Create a Linode using a StackScript through the CLI

Hi Jean, working on the same problem.

I've scanned through the API docs, and the linode-cli source code. Using the API docs, I suspect this might take the form of:

• linode.create to set up the new linode ( https://www.linode.com/api/linode/linode.create )

• linode.disk.createfromstackscript which sets up a new disk using parameter stackscript ( https://www.linode.com/api/linode/linod … tackscript">https://www.linode.com/api/linode/linode.disk.createfromstackscript )

Specifically:
@theckman:

You would then do linode.disk.createfromstackscript() as well as linode.disk.create() to create your swap image. Then you'd want to create your configuration profile using linode.config.create().
(source: https://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=9816&p=56206 )

However, based on grepping the source, it seems linode-cli does not support the disk management APIs yet. Therefore, this might only be possible via mixing the CLI with direct API calls as per above; specifically, eg wget https://api.linode.com/?api_key=abc123& … tackscript">https://api.linode.com/?apikey=abc123&apiaction=linode.disk.createfromstackscript&[parameters…] at the bottom of your linode creation scripts.

Thank you very much. I was hoping to avoid going to the API directly but until then I'll do with it.
