Notes

Note

• You can run playbooks that use this on a local machine, or on a Webfaction host, or elsewhere, since the scripts use the remote webfaction API. The location is not important. However, running them on multiple hosts simultaneously is best avoided. If you don’t specify localhost as your host, you may want to add serial: 1 to the plays.
• See the webfaction API for more info.

Examples

# This will also create a default DB user with the same
# name as the database, and the specified password.

- name: Create a database
  webfaction_db:
    name: "{{webfaction_user}}_db1"
    password: mytestsql
    type: mysql
    login_name: "{{webfaction_user}}"
    login_password: "{{webfaction_passwd}}"
    machine: "{{webfaction_machine}}"

# Note that, for symmetry's sake, deleting a database using
# 'state: absent' will also delete the matching user.
