ansible-ovh-dns

Ansible module for automating DNS entry creation/deletion using the OVH API.

Installation

  1. Install python-ovh using PIP:

    pip install ovh

  2. Add the module to Ansible's module directory or simply add the -M /route/to/ovh_dns flag when invoking Ansible.

Configuration

You'll need a valid OVH application key to use this module. If you don't have one, you can follow these steps:

  1. Visit https://eu.api.ovh.com/createApp/ and fill all fields.

  2. You'll obtain an Application Key and an Application Secret.

  3. Launch python or ipython in a terminal:

    client = ovh.Client('ovh-eu', 'YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY', 'YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET')
    access_rules = [
      {'method': 'GET', 'path': '/domain/*'},
      {'method': 'POST', 'path': '/domain/*'},
      {'method': 'PUT', 'path': '/domain/*'},
      {'method': 'DELETE', 'path': '/domain/*'}
    ]
    client.request_consumerkey(access_rules)
  4. The reply to the last command is:

    {
        u'consumerKey': u'GENERATED_CONSUMER_KEY',
        u'state': u'pendingValidation',
        u'validationUrl': u'https://eu.api.ovh.com/auth/?credentialToken=XXXXXXXX'
    }
  5. After visiting the validationUrl, the GENERATED_CONSUMER_KEY will be valid.

  6. Setup your shell so it exports the following values:

    OVH_ENDPOINT=ovh-eu
    OVH_APPLICATION_KEY=YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY
    OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET=YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET
    OVH_CONSUMER_KEY=GENERATED_CONSUMER_KEY

    Environment variables can also be passed through Ansible task/playbook:

    - name: OVH DNS playbook
      hosts: localhost
      environment:
        OVH_ENDPOINT: ovh-eu
        OVH_APPLICATION_KEY: YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY
        OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET: YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET
        OVH_CONSUMER_KEY: GENERATED_CONSUMER_KEY

Usage

Create a typical A record:

- ovh_dns: state=present domain=mydomain.com name=db1 value=10.10.10.10

Replace a typical A record if as multi record found with different target/value:

- ovh_dns: state=present domain=mydomain.com name=db1 value=10.20.20.20 replace=10.10.10.10

Replace a typical A record if as multi record found with different target/value and create if not found:

- ovh_dns: state=present domain=mydomain.com name=db1 value=10.20.20.20 replace=10.10.10.[0-9]* create=true

Create a CNAME record:

- ovh_dns: state=present domain=mydomain.com name=dbprod type=cname value=db1

Append a CNAME record:

- ovh_dns: state=append domain=mydomain.com name=dbprod type=cname value=db2

Delete an existing record, specific record:

- ovh_dns: state=absent domain=mydomain.com name=dbprod type=cname value=db1

Delete an existing record, all record same type:

- ovh_dns: state=absent domain=mydomain.com name=dbprod type=cname

Delete an existing record, all record same name:

- ovh_dns: state=absent domain=mydomain.com name=dbprod

Delete all TXT records matching '^_acme-challenge.*$' regex

- ovh_dns: state=absent domain=mydomain.com name='' type=TXT removes='^_acme-challenge.*'
