Share an Image w/Another Account
It'd be really nice to be able to share images (i.e. snapshots that we've taken) with other accounts by "inviting" them, or simply entering in their DigitalOcean e-mail address, which would then send them an e-mail letting them know (or perhaps a special DO pin #). This would especially be useful if you're working with a developer/administrator or even a business partner and you want to share a setup/configuration.
As an example, we just configured a rather time consuming LNVMP stack (CentOS, NGINX, Varnish, MySQL, PHP-FPM) and to prevent us from having to continually do the exact same setup on every single server, we took a snapshot so we could rapidly deploy it. The issue here is that only I have access to this snapshot; if I could "share" it with others who also manage deployments, they too could use it and thus speed up future deployments.

Hi Jonathan,
This is a great suggestion and we built the backend to support this from day 1, we haven't yet opened up the ability to share images with other users.
The initial sharing will be to just make the image public so that anyone could use and then eventually depending on usage and requests to allow more granular control over who to share image with.
Thanks

Hey Moisey,
That's definitely great news :-). Having this feature would definitely give DO an edge over pretty much every other cloud-based provider on the market as none of them (that I'm aware of) offer the same or a similar feature.
Please do keep me up to date, either by this request or e-mail.
Thanks again!

If you need to move an image to another account before we make this feature public please open up a support ticket and we'll handle it manually for now.
Thanks

Is it possible to make it ? I have a project that would need public images, as every customers of my project would have to install this image on their servers and I'd like to make them use DigitalOcean :)

Yes, please.

Is this ready or ?

Would love to see this - not sure how passwords on the existing image would work with this - something that probably needs to be worked out. (i.e. my root password for the image, mysql admin username/password, etc.)

Awesome Idea, I believe you could increase your user base significantly simply by offering something like this, I suspect that many people would pay a one time fee for being able to have access to time saving images, like a nicely secure CENT dist with LAMP and Wordpress

Hope we see this sometime, it's been a year now.
Thought I heard stuff about them making a droplet market and allowing people to sell dropless or offer them for free.
As much as I've learned a whole lot setting up my own droplets, I kinda want to share it with people possibly, but I know if there was a droplet already like the one I set up with Ubuntu, NGINX, PHP-FPM, MySQL, +ISPConfig I would have skipped the hours upon hours spent setting it up and just dripped down a new droplet in less than a minute if it were available.

This would greatly increase the value of the digitalocean service.
Any word on when this feature can be expected to be released?
