Parameters

Parameter

Comments

hetzner_password

string / required

The password for the Robot webservice user.

hetzner_user

string / required

The username for the Robot webservice user.

ip

string / required

The IP address to set or remove a reverse DNS entry for.

state

string

Whether to set or update (present) or delete (absent) the reverse DNS entry for ip.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

value

string

The reverse DNS entry for ip.

Required if state=present.

Notes

Note

  • For the main IPv4 address of a server, deleting it actually sets it to a default hostname like static.X.Y.Z.W.clients.your-server.de. This substitution (delete is replaced by changing to this value) is done automatically by the API and results in the module not being idempotent in this case.

  community.hrobot.reverse_dns:
    hetzner_user: foo
