My name is Christian Meißner and I founded codeaffen in fall of 2020 because my colleguages and me faced some missing ansible modules. In a project we used phpIPAM as one system component. As configuration management we used ansible. To automate the configuration of phpIPAM we started to use the url module to talk to the API provided by phpIPAM. But to work with APIs this way is a mess. As we don’t have enough time and budget to deveolop ansible modules I decided to do it in my sparetime and on weekends. Some week, inventigation of existing projects and many read documentations the first version of our phpipam-ansible-modules collection was released.

Currently we provide not only this collection. We also created a python library to get a common interface to talk with phpIPAM API. And we started to work on the next ansible collection. We want to create a collection which provides hieradata for ansible.
