doctl, Checked Against DigitalOcean's Checksums

doctl

The DigitalOcean CLI (doctl) on EL 10 from the vendor's GitHub release, checked against the SHA-256 the vendor published beside it, pinned to a version, installed as root's binary in /usr/local/bin. Original role for EL 10, live-tested with podman on Rocky Linux 10.

No package, so the checksum is the whole story. EL 10 carries no doctl; DigitalOcean ships versioned releases on GitHub with a checksum file (doctl-1.169.0-checksums.sha256) beside the assets. Most installs curl the asset and never open that file. This role downloads both and has Ansible's get_url refuse the asset unless its SHA-256 is the one in the vendor's file; the live test runs sha256sum -c against the same file afterwards. A download is verified against what DigitalOcean published, not against what happened to arrive.

Pinned. doctl_version is what gets installed, kept in a directory of its own (/usr/local/src/doctl-<version>) so the checksum file and the asset it names stay together. A newer release is a variable change and a run; the same version is changed=0.

Proven to run. The live test calls doctl account get with no credentials and expects the CLI to get to "access token is required" - the binary, its DigitalOcean client and its configuration lookup all ran; only the credentials were missing.

Tokens are per user. doctl auth init stores a token under the user's config directory; the role installs the binary only and never writes a token.
