OVH API

Description

Use OVH API to configure your servers, domains, etc.
hosted by OVH.

At the moment, this cookbook only configures the firewall associated to an
IP.

Requirements

Cookbooks and gems

Declared in [metadata.rb](metadata.rb) and in [Gemfile](Gemfile).

Platforms

• Should work on every GNU/Linux and may work on Windows
• Tested on RHEL Family 7, Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04

Usage

Prerequisite

First, you should get an application key, an application secret and a
consumer key with the necessary rights from OVH. More information on
https://api.ovh.com/g934.first_step_with_api.

Then you have to create an encrypted data bag containing these keys. By default
this data bags is named secrets and its item containing the OVH keys is
ovh-keys. Its decrypted content should be like:

{
  "id": "ovh-keys",
  "app_key": "my_app_key",
  "app_secret": "my_app_secret",
  "consumer_key": "my_consumer_key"
}

Finally do not forget to place the secret keys on the servers.

To verify your setup, add recipe[ovh-api::init] in your runlist. If it
converges, your authentification with OVH is correctly configured.

An example of setup is given in
[test/integration/default](test/integration/default) directory.

Firewall

Add recipe[ovh-api::firewall] in your run-list to configure the OVH firewall
for this server. You can configure each IP associated to this server. The
default one can be named primary.

Then for each IP, you can enable or disable the firewall and manage the rules.
The configuration syntax is the same as OVH API, for which you can find the
documentation at https://api.ovh.com/console.

Finally, you can find an example in [.kitchen.yml](.kitchen.yml).

Test

This cookbook is tested in kitchen with the help of
webmock to intercept the HTTP REST
calls.

It uses a test cookbook [webmock](test/cookbooks/webmock) by setting
recipe[webmock::stubs] and recipe[webmock::verify] in the runlist:
stubs recipe initializes webmock and create the necessarily stubs while
verify recipe dumps all calls so they can later be checked by serverspec.

For more information, see [.kitchen.yml](.kitchen.yml) and [test](test)
directory.

Attributes

Configuration is done by overriding default attributes. All configuration keys
have a default defined in [attributes/default.rb](attributes/default.rb).
Please read it to have a comprehensive view of what and how you can configure
this cookbook behavior.

Note: for fields needing an IP address, it is possible to set an interface
name, which will be resolved to its first non-local address.

Recipes

default

Include all other recipes.

init

Initialize the OVH client.

firewall

Configure the firewall according to node['ovh-api']['firewall'].

Resources/Providers
