ansible-hcloud-vm

This role deploys one or more virtual machines with additional disks in the hetzner cloud.

What happens:

• The specified SSH public key will be created in your account
• The list of servers will get created with access for the specified SSH key as root (as long as you use the hetzner images)
• The list of volumes for each server will get created and the volumes will get attached to the matching server

Current module/API problems:

When you delete a server and instantly after that delete the volumes that were attached to the server, the API reports that these volumes are still attached to a server and can not be deleted.
This happens when you run this role and set the state of a server to absend and also set the state of the volume that was/is attached to the server to absent.

Get this role

ansible-galaxy install --roles-path ./roles/ siw36.ansible_hcloud_vm

Requirements

• Python module: hcloud (This role will install it to the users python module directory automatically)
