Every subsequently-created device will have this public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys. +- :ref:`scaleway_compute_module`: manages servers on Scaleway. You can use this module to create, restart and delete servers. +- :ref:`scaleway_volume_module`: manages volumes on Scaleway. + +.. note:: + This guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works. + If you're not, have a look at :ref:`ansible_documentation` before getting started. + +.. _scaleway_requirements: + +Requirements +============ + +The Scaleway modules and inventory script connect to the Scaleway API using `Scaleway REST API `_. +To use the modules and inventory script you'll need a Scaleway API token. +You can generate an API token via the Scaleway console `here `__. +The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Scaleway API token in an environment variable: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ export SCW_TOKEN=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444 + +If you're not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules using the ``api_token`` argument. + +If you want to use a new SSH keypair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa + +If you want to use an existing keypair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory. + +.. _scaleway_add_sshkey: + +How to add an SSH key? +====================== + +Connection to Scaleway Compute nodes use Secure Shell. +SSH keys are stored at the account level, which means that you can re-use the same SSH key in multiple nodes. +The first step to configure Scaleway compute resources is to have at least one SSH key configured. + +:ref:`scaleway_sshkey_module` is a module that manages SSH keys on your Scaleway account. +You can add an SSH key to your account by including the following task in a playbook: + +.. code-block:: yaml + + - name: "Add SSH key" + scaleway_sshkey: + ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..." + state: "present" + +The ``ssh_pub_key`` parameter contains your ssh public key as a string.
