Can I Add a Startup Script Using the Vultr API or CLI?

Yes. Vultr provides full support for managing Startup Scripts through both the Vultr API and Vultr CLI, allowing automation and integration with your deployment workflows.

Using Vultr API

The Startup Scripts API endpoints allow you to:

• Create, update, and delete startup scripts programmatically.
• Retrieve script details and list all scripts associated with your account.
• Assign scripts to instances during deployment by specifying the script_id in your API request.

Using Vultr CLI

The Vultr CLI supports similar operations, including:

• Adding, updating, and removing startup scripts.
• Listing available scripts.
• Deploying instances with a chosen startup script by providing the --script-id flag during provisioning.

Managing startup scripts via the API or CLI enables repeatable, automated deployments and integrates with configuration management or CI/CD pipelines for seamless instance initialization.
