There is no official Ansible collection for managing OVH resources. There are modules in the community.general, a collection made by another company and some small collections made by individuals. None of them were covering my problem of the moment which was to manage a list of members in a role on Logs Data Platform (aka LDP). So I've spent all day updating our dusty collection to make calls to our public API. I will propose to make it open source so we should have an official Ansible collection soon!

Reason: #Docker pops open holes in the local machine's firewall in order to enable itself to work the way it does.

This is 100% fine if you have a separate firewall between the machine and the internet, like say if you were hosting something on a Raspberry Pi in your basement - your router is a firewall.

If, on the other hand, #OVHcloud has rented you a raw machine with no way to manage access to it from outside the OS, running Docker on that vps is a silly thing to do. They were a mistake.
