ansible-cloudflare

An ansible module for managing CloudFlare DNS records.

This module makes use of the rec_new, rec_edit, and rec_delete API calls, with the following parameters: z, type, id, name, content, ttl. Other methods and parameters of the API have yet to be implemented.

Please see the CloudFlare Client API documentation for more information about the different methods and parameters available.

Installation

Ansible Galaxy

The Ansible Galaxy is a collection of third-party roles for ansible. You can install ansible-cloudflare from the galaxy by executing the following command:

ansible-galaxy install DrMegahertz.cloudflare

Please note that you'll have to add the role DrMegahertz.cloudflare to your playbook to make use of the cloudflare_domain task.

As a Git submodule

If you'd rather have all your provisioning code in one place you could also add it to your playbook-repository as a git submodule. This method doesn't require that you specify the role DrMegahertz.cloudflare in your playbook. Just use the cloudflare_domain task directly.

cd playbook-directory
mkdir vendor
git submodule add https://github.com/DrMegahertz/ansible-cloudflare.git vendor/ansible-cloudflare
mkdir library
ln -s vendor/ansible-cloudflare/library/cloudflare_domain.py library/cloudflare_domain.py

Playbook example

Save the following configuration into files with the specified names:

cloudflare.yaml:

- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  roles:
    - DrMegahertz.cloudflare
  tasks:
    - name: Create DNS record www.example.com
      cloudflare_domain: >

        name=www
        zone=example.com
        type=A
        content=127.0.0.1
        [email protected]
        token=77a54a4c36858cfc10321fcfce22378e19e20

hosts:

# Dummy inventory for ansible
localhost

Then run the playbook with the following command:

ansible-playbook -i hosts cloudflare.yaml

The email and token parameters can also be specified by setting the CLOUDFLARE_API_EMAIL and CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN environment variables.
