Attribute

Support

Description

check_mode

Support: full

Can run in check_mode and return changed status prediction without modifying target.

diff_mode

Support: none

Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in check_mode), when in diff mode.

Notes

Note

  • If you are deleting domains by using state=absent, then note that if you specify subdomains, just those particular subdomains will be deleted. If you don’t specify subdomains, the domain will be deleted.

  • 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 <https://docs.webfaction.com/xmlrpc-api/>`_ for more info.
