compose

dictionary

Create vars from jinja2 expressions.

filters

list / elements=string

added in 1.5.0 of community.digitalocean

Filter hosts with Jinja templates.

If no filters are specified, all hosts are added to the inventory.

Default: []

dictionary

Add hosts to group based on Jinja2 conditionals.

Default: {}

keyed_groups

list / elements=string

Add hosts to group based on the values of a variable.

Default: []

leading_separator

boolean

added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin

Use in conjunction with keyed_groups.

By default, a keyed group that does not have a prefix or a separator provided will have a name that starts with an underscore.

This is because the default prefix is “” and the default separator is “_”.

Set this option to False to omit the leading underscore (or other separator) if no prefix is given.

If the group name is derived from a mapping the separator is still used to concatenate the items.

To not use a separator in the group name at all, set the separator for the keyed group to an empty string instead.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

oauth_token

aliases: api_token

string

DigitalOcean OAuth token.

There are several other environment variables which can be used to provide this value.

pagination

integer

If the number of droplets related to the account exceeds this value, the query will be broken to multiple requests (pages).

DigitalOcean currently allows a maximum of 200.

Default: 200
