This module is part of the community.digitalocean collection (version 1.20.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.digitalocean.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.digitalocean.digital_ocean.

DEPRECATED

Removed in

version 2.0.0

Why

Updated module to remove external dependency with increased functionality.

Alternative

Use community.digitalocean.digital_ocean_droplet instead.

Synopsis

  • Create/delete a droplet in DigitalOcean and optionally wait for it to be ‘running’, or deploy an SSH key.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.6

  • dopy

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_token

aliases: API_TOKEN

string

DigitalOcean api token.

backups_enabled

boolean

Optional, Boolean, enables backups for your droplet.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

command

string

Which target you want to operate on.

Choices:

  • droplet ← (default)

  • ssh

id

aliases: droplet_id

integer

Numeric, the droplet id you want to operate on.

image_id

string

This is the slug of the image you would like the droplet created with.

ipv6

boolean

Optional, Boolean, enable IPv6 for your droplet.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

name

string

String, this is the name of the droplet - must be formatted by hostname rules, or the name of a SSH key.

private_networking

boolean

Bool, add an additional, private network interface to droplet for inter-droplet communication.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

region_id

string

This is the slug of the region you would like your server to be created in.

size_id

string

This is the slug of the size you would like the droplet created with.

ssh_key_ids

list / elements=string

Optional, array of SSH key (numeric) ID that you would like to be added to the server.

ssh_pub_key

string

The public SSH key you want to add to your account.

state

string

Indicate desired state of the target.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • active

  • absent

  • deleted

unique_name

boolean

Bool, require unique hostnames. By default, DigitalOcean allows multiple hosts with the same name. Setting this to “yes” allows only one host per name. Useful for idempotence.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

user_data

string

opaque blob of data which is made available to the droplet

virtio

boolean

Bool, turn on virtio driver in droplet for improved network and storage I/O.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

wait

boolean

Wait for the droplet to be in state ‘running’ before returning. If wait is “no” an ip_address may not be returned.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

wait_timeout

integer

How long before wait gives up, in seconds.

Default: 300

Notes

Note

  • Two environment variables can be used, DO_API_KEY and DO_API_TOKEN. They both refer to the v2 token.

  • As of Ansible 1.9.5 and 2.0, Version 2 of the DigitalOcean API is used, this removes client_id and api_key options in favor of api_token.

  • If you are running Ansible 1.9.4 or earlier you might not be able to use the included version of this module as the API version used has been retired. Upgrade Ansible or, if unable to, try downloading the latest version of this module from github and putting it into a ‘library’ directory.

Examples

# Ensure a SSH key is present
# If a key matches this name, will return the ssh key id and changed = False
# If no existing key matches this name, a new key is created, the ssh key id is returned and changed = False

- name: Ensure a SSH key is present
  community.digitalocean.digital_ocean:
    state: present
    oauth_token: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'DO_API_TOKEN') }}"
    command: ssh
    name: my_ssh_key
    ssh_pub_key: 'ssh-rsa AAAA...'

# Will return the droplet details including the droplet id (used for idempotence)
- name: Create a new Droplet
  community.digitalocean.digital_ocean:
    state: present
    oauth_token: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'DO_API_TOKEN') }}"
    command: droplet
    name: mydroplet
    size_id: 2gb
    region_id: ams2
    image_id: fedora-19-x64
    wait_timeout: 500
  register: my_droplet

- debug:
    msg: "ID is {{ my_droplet.droplet.id }}"

- debug:
    msg: "IP is {{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }}"

# Ensure a droplet is present
# If droplet id already exist, will return the droplet details and changed = False
# If no droplet matches the id, a new droplet will be created and the droplet details (including the new id) are returned, changed = True.

- name: Ensure a droplet is present
  community.digitalocean.digital_ocean:
    state: present
    oauth_token: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'DO_API_TOKEN') }}"
    command: droplet
    id: 123
    name: mydroplet
    size_id: 2gb
    region_id: ams2
    image_id: fedora-19-x64
    wait_timeout: 500

# Create a droplet with ssh key
# The ssh key id can be passed as argument at the creation of a droplet (see ssh_key_ids).
# Several keys can be added to ssh_key_ids as id1,id2,id3
# The keys are used to connect as root to the droplet.

- name: Create a droplet with ssh key
  community.digitalocean.digital_ocean:
    state: present
    oauth_token: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'DO_API_TOKEN') }}"
    ssh_key_ids: 123,456
    name: mydroplet
    size_id: 2gb
    region_id: ams2
