Manage a bare metal server in the Packet Host (a "device" in the API terms).
When the machine is created it can optionally wait for public IP address, or for active state.
This module has a dependency on packet >= 1.0.
API is documented at U(https://www.packet.net/developers/api/devices).
# All the examples assume that you have your Packet api token in env var PACKET_API_TOKEN.
# You can also pass it to the auth_token parameter of the module instead.

plan:
description:
- Plan slug for device creation. See Packet API for current list - U(https://www.packet.net/developers/api/plans/).
count:
default: 1
description:
- The number of devices to create. Count number can be included in hostname via the
%d string formatter.
state:
choices:
- present
- absent
- active
- inactive
- rebooted
default: present
description:
- Desired state of the device.
- If set to C(present) (the default), the module call will return immediately after
the device-creating HTTP request successfully returns.
- If set to C(active), the module call will block until all the specified devices
are in state active due to the Packet API, or until I(wait_timeout).
locked:
aliases:
- lock
default: false
description:
- Whether to lock a created device.
type: bool

features:
description:
- Dict with "features" for device creation. See Packet API docs for details.
hostnames:
aliases:
- name
description:
- A hostname of a device, or a list of hostnames.
- If given string or one-item list, you can use the C("%d") Python string format to
expand numbers from I(count).
- If only one hostname, it might be expanded to list if I(count)>1.
user_data:
description:
- Userdata blob made available to the machine
always_pxe:
default: false
description:
- Persist PXE as the first boot option.
- Normally, the PXE process happens only on the first boot. Set this arg to have your
device continuously boot to iPXE.

auth_token:
description:
- Packet api token. You can also supply it in env var C(PACKET_API_TOKEN).
device_ids:
description:
- List of device IDs on which to operate.
project_id:
description:
- ID of project of the device.
required: true
count_offset:
default: 1
description:
- From which number to start the count.
wait_timeout:
default: 900
description:
- How long (seconds) to wait either for automatic IP address assignment, or for the
device to reach the C(active) I(state).
- If I(wait_for_public_IPv) is set and I(state) is C(active), the module will wait
for both events consequently, applying the timeout twice.

description:
- Whether to wait for the instance to be assigned a public IPv4/IPv6 address.
