dedibox support - action module - reboot / rescue mode

[jbguerraz]

Hello :)

We’d be happy to deprecate our legacy project https://github.com/skilld-labs/ansible_online_net/ (released in 2015: 10 years old feels like a great age to get deprecated 🙂).

It contains:

• an inventory plugin, which we don’t really care about anymore since we - would like to - rely on Terraform for provisioning nowadays. cf Add support for dedibox server terraform-provider-scaleway#2670 (comment)
• an action module we still rely on, to manage Dedibox servers - specifically reboot and reboot in rescue mode

This is how we currently use it:

- name: Reboot the node in rescue mode
  online_net_host:
    api_token: "{{ os_online_net_api_token }}"
    id: "{{ os_host_id }}"
    boot_mode: "{{ os_rescue_image }}" # rescue-ubuntu-22.04_amd64
    state: reboot
  register: rescue
  delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
  until: rescue.output.state is not none
  retries: 20
  delay: 10

- name: Update SSH settings
  set_fact:
    ansible_ssh_user: "{{ rescue.output.state.login }}"
    ansible_ssh_pass: "{{ rescue.output.state.password }}"
    ansible_become_pass: "{{ rescue.output.state.password }}"
    ansible_ssh_port: "{{ os_rescue_ssh_port }}"
    ansible_python_interpreter: "{{ os_rescue_python }}"

...

- name: Reboot the node in normal mode
  online_net_host:
    api_token: "{{ os_online_net_api_token }}"
    id: "{{ os_host_id }}"
    boot_mode: exit-rescue
    state: reboot
  delegate_to: 127.0.0.1

- name: Update SSH settings
  set_fact:
    ansible_ssh_port: "{{ os_ssh_port }}"
    ansible_ssh_user: "{{ os_user_login }}"
    ansible_ssh_pass: "{{ os_user_plain_password }}"
    ansible_become_pass: "{{ os_user_plain_password }}"
    ansible_python_interpreter: "{{ os_python }}"

I didn’t see rescue / reboot support covered by this project, did I miss it?

If it’s not implemented yet:

• are you open to contributions for this feature?
• and/or, as a first step, would you be interested in adopting (or using as a base) our old 2015 action module implementation so we can upstream this and officially deprecate the legacy repo?

Thank you a lot :)

Hello 👋 at the moment we are very focus on the elements ecosystem and will not ensure maintenance for online.net dedibox ecosystem of community tools. At the moment we have some python SDK that are working with the new api for dedibox that would be based on an Elements token https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-sdk-python/tree/main/scaleway/scaleway/dedibox we are looking for feedback and so is the team inside scaleway.

Hello @remyleone !
Thank you for your answer :)
Are you open to a contribution that bring an action module using that python sdk ?
