**Note:** Snapshots are billed at $0.06/GB/month, which is typically much cheaper than keeping a droplet running.

### Claude Code Setup

Set up [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code) on a droplet for sandboxed AI development:

```bash
# Create a droplet, then set up Claude Code
dropkit create my-sandbox
dropkit setup-claude my-sandbox
```

After installing Claude Code, an interactive prompt lets you choose what to sync:

```
What to set up on the droplet:
1. Global CLAUDE.md
2. Settings (model prefs, UI, behavior)
3. GitHub token
4. Marketplace: claude-plugins-official

Enter numbers to sync (comma-separated), or "all" [all]:
```

Use `--sync-all` to skip the prompt and sync everything (useful for scripting):

```bash
dropkit setup-claude my-sandbox --sync-all
```

**What it does:**
1. Installs Claude Code via the official installer
2. Prompts you to select which settings to sync (CLAUDE.md, settings, GitHub token, marketplaces)
3. Syncs your selected items to the droplet
4. Runs `claude /login` on the droplet for you to authenticate your Claude subscription

**GitHub CLI authentication:**
```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...
dropkit setup-claude my-sandbox
```

### Cloud-Init Customization

Edit `~/.config/dropkit/cloud-init.yaml` to customize user setup, package installation, firewall rules, and shell configuration. The template uses Jinja2 syntax with variables `{{ username }}` and `{{ ssh_keys }}`.
