Ansible Modules for the Packet Bare Metal Cloud

This project provides a few basic modules for managing bare metal servers on Packet's cloud solution. It requires the packet-python library, currently you need a set of patches from the ansible branch in my fork of the project

Available modules

Documentation for the modules is present in the DOCUMENTATION variable at the top of each module file, but as a quick reference, these are the basic operations available:

packet_project

Simply creates or deletes projects:

- packet_project:
    name: foo
    state: present
    auth_token: XYZ

packet_sshkey

Allows you to add/remove SSH keys from your account:

- packet_sshkey:
    label: my_key
    ssh_pub_key: 'ssh-rsa DEADBEEF...'
    state: present
    auth_token: XYZ

packet_device

Allows you to manage devices in a project:

- packet_device:
    project_id: 97c4a82f-d7f3-415d-a8a2-6f791dd724a9
    hostname: host.example.com
    plan: baremetal_0
    facility: ewr1
    operating_system: coreos_stable
    state: present
    auth_token: XYZ

It is also possible to reference the project by name using the project_name parameter. Other useful options for this module are the rebooted value for the state parameter, which allows you to reboot the instance, and the wait_for parameter which allows you to specify the number of seconds to wait while a provisioning operation completes.

Known issues

• Paginated API responses are currently not treated appropriately, so if you have n>10 entities of any sort and try to reference them by name, you might get false negatives about their existence.
