Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
hetzner_password string / required		The password for the Robot webservice user.
hetzner_user string / required		The username for the Robot webservice user.
server_ip string / required		The server's main IP address.
timeout integer	Default: 180	Timeout (in seconds) for waiting for firewall to be configured.
wait_delay integer	Default: 10	Delay to wait (in seconds) before checking again whether the firewall has been configured.
wait_for_configured boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to wait until the firewall has been successfully configured before returning from the module. The API returns status in progress when the firewall is currently being configured. If this happens, the module will try again until the status changes to active or disabled. Please note that there is a request limit. If you have to do multiple updates, it can be better to disable waiting, and regularly use community.hrobot.firewall_info to query status.
