# Ansible Collection - kmpm.incus

This repository contains the `kmpm.incus` collection.
This is a collection of ansible modules and such that enables creation of for example
incus instances.

The goal for this collection is to eventually be incorporated
into Ansibles community.general collection.

The connection module for incus is already included in the
`community.general.incus` and is not included here.

## Disclaimer

It is very much a Work In Progress and contains bugs, missing features etc.
It might destroy everything on your machine (unlikely) and delete everyting
in incus (somewhat likely). It will eventually be strict about semver versioning
but for now, every change could be a breaking one.

My available time to work on this project will be limited but I will gladly accept
pull requests that I find reasonable.

## Tested with Ansible

This collection is currently only tested with core-2.16 and python 3.11.
It might be extended to support older versions but currently there are only some
python >3.7 code used.

## External requirements

All modules depend on a locally installed and configured `incus`CLI.
That same incus CLI must have [PR 581](https://github.com/lxc/incus/pull/581) included.
This means `incus > 0.6.0`.

## Using this collection

The collection is not yet published in Ansible Galaxy but can be installed with
`ansible-galaxy` and using the [git repository](https://github.com/kmpm/ansible-collection-incus).

```shell
ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/kmpm/ansible-collection-incus.git
```

### Inventory

WIP: There is an inventory module but it has limited documentation and not
everything planed is complete or implemented.

Get the existing help with `ansible-doc -t inventory kmpm.incus.incus`

To use create a file that ends with `incus.yml` or `incus.yaml`

```yaml
---
plugin: kmpm.incus.incus

```

Test with `ansible-inventory -i --list`
