The Ansible Linode Collection contains various plugins for managing Linode services.

This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.9.10.

Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions. PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.

Modules for managing Linode infrastructure.

Modules for retrieving information about existing Linode infrastructure.

Modules for retrieving and filtering on multiple Linode resources.

Dynamically add Linode infrastructure to an Ansible inventory.

You can install the Linode collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install linode.cloud

The python module dependencies are not installed by ansible-galaxy. They can be manually installed using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Once the Linode Ansible collection is installed, it can be referenced by its Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN): linode.cloud.module_name.

In order to use this collection, the LINODE_API_TOKEN environment variable must be set to a valid Linode API v4 token. Alternatively, you can pass your Linode API v4 token into the api_token option for each Linode module you reference.

The LINODE_UA_PREFIX or the ua_prefix module option can be used to specify a custom User-Agent prefix.
