Server/

DESCRIPTION

This section of the API handles provisioning, destroying, resizing, cloning, etc. Basically anything to do with managing a server is here.

Many of the methods here will fire off long-running processes that run in the background and can be polled for status information.

available

URL:

https://api.liquidweb.com/bleed/Server/available

Description:

Checks if a given domain is free. Will return an adjusted domain name

If given an account and there was a conflict with another domain on your account. For example, if you have a server called 'host.domain.com', and ask if 'host.domain.com' is available, 'host2.domain.com' will be returned as the available domain.

If the domain is entirely unavailable, an exception of type 'LW::Exception::Resource::Unavailable' will be returned.

Parameters:

create

URL:

https://api.liquidweb.com/bleed/Server/create

Description:

Provision a new server. This fires off the build process, which does the actual provisioning of a new server on its parent. Each server consists of several distinct options:

	type: the product code for the provisioned server to create.

	features: an associative array of product features, specifying extra
	configuration options for the server.  The keys and values for this allow
	specifying features such as MsSQL and AntiVirus service on Windows systems,
	and can be determined by calling the product/details method for the product
	code of the server, and examining the 'options' array.  In general, these
	settings are not necessary on Linux systems, and are only necessary on
	servers with a Windows operating system.

	image_id: rather than provisioning a LiquidWeb template, you can specify
	the id of a user-created image on your account.  Use the API method
	storm/image/list to find any existing images you have or storm/image/create
	to create a new image from an existing server

	new_ips: the number of IPs you wish the server to have.  This defaults to
	1 IP, which is included in the base price.  Pricing for additional IPs can
	be found using the product/details API method for the product type in
	question, under 'options', specified as 'ExtraIp'

	new_ip6s: the number of IPv6 /64s you wish the server to have. By default,
	you are limited to a maximum of 1.

	pool_ips: an optional array of IPv4 ips to be assigned to the server from
	the ip pool.

	pool6_ips: an optional array of IPv6 /64s to be assigned to the server from
	the ip pool.

	bandwidth_quota: the bandwidth plan you wish to use.  A quota of 0 indicates
	that you want as-you-go, usage-based bandwidth charges.  The remaining
	available quota options can be found with the product/details API method.

	backup_enabled: whether or not backups should be enabled.  Defaults to no.
	If this is not set to 1, neither of the following two options will be used.

	backup_plan: either 'quota' or 'daily', depending on whether you are
	choosing a quota-based backup plan or just a specific number of days to be
	backed up.

	backup_quota: for a 'daily' plan, this indicates the number of days to back
	up.  For a quota plan, this is the total number of GB to keep.  Available
	options are found with the product/details API method.

	public_ssh_key: optional public ssh key you want added to authorized_keys
	on your new server.  This should be a valid public ssh key, e.g. the contents
	of your id_rsa.pub file.

	zone: the numerical id for the zone you wish to deploy the server in.
	See network/zone/list for available zones.

Beyond those options, we need the hostname of the server ('domain') and the root password you would like set on the server originally ('password').

More information about the returned data structure are found in the documenation for the server/details method.

Parameters:

backup_idA positive integer value (i.e. 1 and up).
