It seems that molecule-digitalocean was archived a year ago. Are there any working and active replacements?

Hi Seumas,
You’re right—the molecule-digitalocean plugin was archived in early 2023 :(
https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/team-devtools/stats/molecule-plugins/
As far as I know, currently, there’s no direct replacement maintained by the Ansible community. However, you have a couple of options:
-
Molecule’s built-in delegated driver allows you to manage instances manually. You can provision DigitalOcean Droplets using Ansible playbooks or the
doctlCLI, and then point Molecule to these instances for testing. -
If you’re up for it, you can fork the archived
molecule-digitaloceanrepository and maintain it independently. This would involve updating it to be compatible with the latest versions of Molecule and Ansible.
If you believe there’s significant demand for a dedicated DigitalOcean driver, you could consider proposing this on the Ansible community or contributing to the project.
