Synopsis

Get inventory hosts from cloudscale.ch API

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Configuration	Comments
ansible_host string	public_v4 ← public_v6 private none		Which IP address to register as the ansible_host. If the requested value does not exist or this is set to 'none', no ansible_host will be set.
api_timeout integer	Default: 30		Timeout in seconds for calls to the cloudscale.ch API.
api_token string		env:CLOUDSCALE_API_TOKEN	cloudscale.ch API token
compose dictionary	Default: {}		Create vars from jinja2 expressions.
groups dictionary	Default: {}		Add hosts to group based on Jinja2 conditionals.
inventory_hostname string	name ← uuid		What to register as the inventory hostname. If set to 'uuid' the uuid of the server will be used and a group will be created for the server name. If set to 'name' the name of the server will be used unless there are more than one server with the same name in which case the 'uuid' logic will be used.
keyed_groups list	Default: []		Add hosts to group based on the values of a variable.
plugin - / required	cloudscale		Token that ensures this is a source file for the 'cloudscale' plugin.
strict boolean	no ← yes		If `yes` make invalid entries a fatal error, otherwise skip and continue. Since it is possible to use facts in the expressions they might not always be available and we ignore those errors by default.

Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
