I would like to know an alternative way to execute single command.

Presently this is how we can delete an app. Even though ansible provides shell and command modules => We cannot use them; because of the inbuild dokku security to re-enter the name of the app,

---
- hosts: nodes
  roles:
    - dokku_bot.ansible_dokku

  tasks:
    - name: Delete that app
      dokku_app:
        app: "{{ appTitle }}"
        state: absent

Just to destroy one app, this procedure takes a lot of time. I would like to know a better way of handling single commands like:

• dokku apps:destroy AppName (requires to manually enter: AppName)
• dokku git:sync --build AppName https://github.com/path/to/my/repo (For executing this the second time, we should pass: y/n)

commands like this need some external input from the user.

hi @akhil-naidu , how about something like

---
- hosts: nodes
  roles:
    - dokku_bot.ansible_dokku

  tasks:
    - name: Delete that app
      dokku_app:
        app: "{{ appTitle }}"
        state: absent
      tags: delete-app

and ansible-playbook playbook.yml --tags delete-app ?

Wow! it seems like this might work. I was looking at the documentation of ansible-dokku and forgot about ansible features.

I will give it a try and will update the status of this issue accordingly.

With this, now I was able to delete the app in 3 seconds. xD
