Ansible Collection: hetzner.hcloud

Ansible Hetzner Cloud Collection for controlling your Hetzner Cloud Resources.

Python version compatibility

This collection depends on the hcloud library. Due to the hcloud Python Support Policy this collection requires Python 3.8 or greater.

Release notes

See here.

Release policy

The main branch is used for the development of the latest versions of the collections, and may contain breaking changes. The stable-* branches (e.g. stable-1 for the 1.x.y releases) are used to cut additional minor or patch releases if needed, but we do not provide official support for multiple versions of the collection.

Documentation

The documentation for all modules are available through ansible-doc.

Sample: ansible-doc hetzner.hcloud.server shows the documentation for the server module.

For all modules that were part of Ansible directly (before Ansible 2.11) we also have the documentation published in the Ansible documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/hetzner/hcloud/

Development

Requirements

You should place the collection (clone the repository) into the Ansible collection path. Normally this is ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/<namespace>/<collection, so for our collection it would be: ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/hetzner/hcloud.

git clone [email protected]:ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud.git ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/hetzner/hcloud

After this you just need ansible installed.

Testing

Testing is done via ansible-test. Make sure to have a cloud-config-hcloud.ini file in tests/integration which contains the hcloud API token:

[default]
hcloud_api_token=<token>

After this you should be able to use ansible-test integration to perform the integration tests for a specific module. Sample:

ansible-test integration --color --local  -vvv hetzner.hcloud.server // Executed all integration tests for server module

Releasing a new version
