Comments

hetzner_password

string / required

The password for the Robot webservice user.

hetzner_user

The vSwitch’s name.

In order to identify a vSwitch both name and VLAN must match. If not, a new vSwitch will be created.

servers

List of server identifiers (server’s numeric ID or server’s main IPv4 or IPv6).

If servers is not specified, servers are not going to be deleted.

string

State of the vSwitch.

vSwitch is created if state is present, and deleted if state is absent.

absent just cancels the vSwitch at the end of the current day.

When cancelling, you have to specify servers=[] if you want to actively remove the servers in the vSwitch.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

timeout

integer

Timeout (in seconds) for waiting for vSwitch servers to be configured.

Default: 180

vlan

wait

boolean

Whether to wait until the vSwitch has been successfully configured before determining what to do, and before returning from the module.

The API returns status in process when the vSwitch is currently being set up in the servers. If this happens, the module will try again until the status changes to ready or server has been removed from vSwitch.

Please note that if you disable wait while deleting and removing servers module will fail with VSWITCH_IN_PROCESS error.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)
