What's the difference between defaults and vars in an Ansible role?
|
When creating a new Ansible role, the template creates both a vars and a defaults directory with an empty main.yml file. When defining my role, I can place variable definitions in either of these, and they will be available in my tasks. What's the difference between putting the definitions into defaults and vars ? What should go into defaults , and what should to into vars ? Does it make sense to use both for the same data? I know that there's a difference in precedence/priority between the two, but I would like to understand what should go where. Let's say that my role would create a list of directories on the target system. I would like to provide a list of default directories to be created, but would like to allow the user to override them when using the role. Here's what this would look like: --- - directories: - foo - bar - baz I could place this either into the defaults/main.yml or in the vars/main.yml , from an execution perspective, it wouldn't make any difference - but where should it go?

ansible: lineinfile for several lines?
|
The same way there is a module lineinfile to add one line in a file, is there a way to add several lines? I do not want to use a template because you have to provide the whole file. I just want to add something to an existing file without necessarily knowing what the file already contains so a template is not an option.

How to do multiline shell script in Ansible

right now I am using a shell script in ansible that would be much more readable if it was on multiple lines - name: iterate user groups shell: groupmod -o -g {{ item['guid'] }} {{ item['username'] }} ....more stuff to do with_items: "{{ users }}" Just not sure how to allow multiline script in Ansible shell module

Use a default if a variable is not defined
|
I'm customizing Linux users creation inside my role. I need to let users of my role customize home_directory , group_name , name , password . I was wondering if there's a more flexible way to cope with default values. I know that the code below is possible: - name: Create default user: name: "default_name" when: my_variable is not defined - name: Create custom user: name: "{{my_variable}}" when: my_variable is defined But as I mentioned, there's a lot of optional variables and this creates a lot of possibilities. Is there something like the code above? - user: name: "default_name", "{{my_variable}}" The code should set name="default_name" when my_variable isn't defined. I could set all variables on defaults/main.yml and create the user like that: - name: Create user user: name: "{{my_variable}}" But, those variables are inside a really big hash and there are some hashes inside that hash that can't be a default.

How to switch a user per task or set of tasks?
|
A recurring theme that's in my ansible playbooks is that I often must execute a command with sudo privileges ( sudo: yes ) because I'd like to do it for a certain user. Ideally I'd much rather use sudo to switch to that user and execute the commands normally. Because then I won't have to do my usual post commands clean up such as chowning directories. Here's a snippet from one of my playbooks: - name: checkout repo git: repo=[URL] version=master dest={{ dst }} sudo: yes - name: change perms file: dest={{ dst }} state=directory mode=0755 owner=some_user sudo: yes Ideally I could run commands or sets of commands as a different user even if it requires sudo to su to that user.

Where can I get a list of Ansible pre-defined variables?
|
I see that Ansible provide some pre-defined variables that we can use in playbooks and template files. For example, the host IP address is ansible_eth0.ipv4.address . Googleing and searching the docs I couldn't find a list of all available variables. Would someone list them for me?

How to get the host name of the current machine as defined in the Ansible hosts file?
|
I'm setting up an Ansible playbook to set up a couple servers. There are a couple of tasks that I only want to run if the current host is my local dev host, named "local" in my hosts file. How can I do this? I can't find it anywhere in the documentation. I've tried this when statement, but it fails because ansible_hostname resolves to the host name generated when the machine is created, not the one you define in your hosts file. - name: Install this only for local dev machine pip: name: pyramid when: ansible_hostname == "local"

Ansible: get current target host's IP address
|
How do you get the current host's IP address in a role? I know you can get the list of groups the host is a member of and the hostname of the host but I am unable to find a solution to getting the IP address. You can get the hostname by using {{inventory_hostname}} and the group by using {{group_names}} I have tried things like {{ hostvars[{{ inventory_hostname }}]['ansible_ssh_host'] }} and ip="{{ hostvars.{{ inventory_hostname }}.ansible_ssh_host }}"

Variable that has the path to the current ansible-playbook that is executing?

Is there an Ansible variable that has the absolute path to the current playbook that is executing? Some context: I'm running/creating an Ansible script against localhost to configure a MySQL Docker container and wanting to mount the data volume relative to the Ansible playbook. For example, let's say I've checkout a repository to ~/branch1/ and then I run ansible-playbook dev.yml I was thinking it should save the volume to ~/branch1/.docker_volume/ . If I ran it from ~/branch2 then it should configure the volume to ~/branch2/.docker_volume/ .

How to automatically install Ansible Galaxy roles?
|
All my Ansible playbooks/roles are checked in to my git repo. However, for Ansible Galaxy roles I always have to explicitly download them one by one on every machine I want to run Ansible from. It's even tough to know in advance exactly which Ansible Galaxy roles are needed until Ansible complains about a missing role at runtime. How is one supposed to manage the Ansible Galaxy role dependencies? I would like to either have them checked into my git repo along with the rest of my ansible code or have them automatically be identified and downloaded when I run Ansible on a new machine.

How do you stop Ansible from creating .retry files in the home directory?
|
When Ansible has problems running plays against a host, it will output the name of the host into a file in the user's home directory ending in '.retry'. These are often not used and just cause clutter, is there a way to turn them off or put them in a different directory?

How to create an empty file with Ansible?
|
What is the easiest way to create an empty file using Ansible? I know I can save an empty file into the files directory and then copy it to the remote host, but I find that somewhat unsatisfactory. Another way is to touch a file on the remote host: - name: create fake 'nologin' shell file: path=/etc/nologin state=touch owner=root group=sys mode=0555 But then the file gets touched every time, showing up as a yellow line in the log, which is also unsatisfactory... Is there any better solution to this simple problem?

This is a fragment of a playbook that I'm using ( server.yml ): - name: Determine Remote User hosts: web gather_facts: false roles: - { role: remote-user, tags: [remote-user, always] } My hosts file has different groups of servers, e.g. [web] x.x.x.x [droplets] x.x.x.x Now I want to execute ansible-playbook -i hosts/<env> server.yml and override hosts: web from server.yml to run this playbook for [droplets] . Can I just override as a one time off thing, without editing server.yml directly? Thanks.

Copy multiple files with Ansible

How can I copy more than a single file into remote nodes by Ansible in a task? I've tried to duplicate the copy module line in my task to define files but it only copies the first file.

Write variable to a file in Ansible

I am pulling JSON via the URI module and want to write the received content out to a file. I am able to get the content and output it to the debugger so I know the content has been received, but I do not know the best practice for writing files.

Ansible Playbooks vs Roles
|
According to the Ansible docs, a Playbook is: ...the basis for a really simple configuration management and multi-machine deployment system, unlike any that already exist, and one that is very well suited to deploying complex applications. And, again, according to those same docs, a Role are: ...ways of automatically loading certain vars_files, tasks, and handlers based on a known file structure. Grouping content by roles also allows easy sharing of roles with other users. However the distinction between these and their different use cases is not immediately obvious to me. For instance, if I configure my /etc/ansible/hosts file to look like: [databases] mydb01.example.org mydb02.example.org [mail_servers] mymail01.example.org mymail_dr.example.org ...then what is this " [databases] " entry...a role ? Or the name of a playbook YAML file somewhere? Or something else?!? If someone could explain to me the differences on these, my understanding of Ansible would be greatly enhance! Playbook vs Role vs [databases] and similar entries in /etc/ansible/hosts If Playbooks are defined inside of YAML files, then where are Roles defined? Aside from the ansible.cfg living on the Ansible server, how do I add/configure Ansible with available Playbooks/Roles? For instance, when I run ansible-playbook someplaybook.yaml , how does Ansible know where to find that playbook?

Ansible: Store command's stdout in new variable?
|
Inside my playbook I'd like to create a variable holding the output of an external command. Afterwards I want to make use of that variable in a couple of templates. Here are the relevant parts of the playbook: tasks: - name: Create variable from command command: "echo Hello" register: command_output - debug: msg="{{command_output.stdout}}" - name: Copy test service template: src=../templates/test.service.j2 dest=/tmp/test.service - name: Enable test service shell: systemctl enable /tmp/test.service - name: Start test service shell: systemctl start test.service and let's say this is my template: [Unit] Description=MyApp After=docker.service Requires=docker.service [Service] TimeoutStartSec=0 ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker kill busybox1 ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm busybox1 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker pull busybox ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run --name busybox1 busybox /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo {{ string_to_echo }}; sleep 1; done" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target (Notice the {{ string_to_echo }} ) So what I'm basically looking for is a way to store the contents of command_output.stdout (which is generated/retrieved during the first task) in a new variable string_to_echo . That variable I'd like to use in multiple templates afterwards. I guess I could just use {{command_output.stdout}} in my templates, but I want to get rid of that .stdout for readability.

Ansible: Set variable to file content

I'm using the ec2 module with ansible-playbook I want to set a variable to the contents of a file. Here's how I'm currently doing it. Var with the filename shell task to cat the file use the result of the cat to pass to the ec2 module. Example contents of my playbook. vars: amazon_linux_ami: "ami-fb8e9292" user_data_file: "base-ami-userdata.sh" tasks: - name: user_data_contents shell: 'cat {{ user_data_file }}' register: user_data_action - name: launch ec2-instance local_action: ... user_data: '{{ user_data_action.stdout }}' I assume there's a much easier way to do this, but I couldn't find it while searching Ansible docs.

How do I get a variable with the name of the user running ansible?
|
I'm scripting a deployment process that takes the name of the user running the ansible script (e.g. tlau) and creates a deployment directory on the remote system based on that username and the current date/time (e.g. tlau-deploy-2014-10-15-16:52). You would think this is available in ansible facts (e.g. LOGNAME or SUDO_USER), but those are all set to either "root" or the deployment id being used to ssh into the remote system. None of those contain the local user, the one who is currently running the ansible process. How can I script getting the name of the user running the ansible process and use it in my playbook?

Missing sudo password in Ansible
|
Ansible asks for sudo password from following code, it tries to create a new postgres user. Error message: fatal: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] => Missing sudo password main.yml - name: 'Provision a PostgreSQL server' hosts: "dbservers" sudo: yes sudo_user: postgres roles: - postgres create_db.yml - name: Make sure the PostgreSQL users are present postgresql_user: name=rails password=secret role_attr_flags=CREATEDB,NOSUPERUSER sudo_user: postgres sudo: yes The remote_user that used to login to this machine is a non-root user, it has no password, and can only login using key auth. For user postgres , this account doesn't have the password as well, because the database was just installed. Since I logged in as non -root user, of course it will ask for password when switch to postgress account in order to create database user. But it won't be need for password if switch to postgres from root account. So, I wonder if there is a way to switch to root, and then switch to user postgres . Note: the root account has no public key, no password, and cannot login from SSH.

How to use template module with different set of variables?
|
My use case is the following : I have a template file, and I would like to create 2 different files from that template, with the variables being filled by a different set of variables for each file. For example, lets say I want to template the file containing the line: mkdir -p {{myTemplateVariable}} I would like to find a proper way to get this variable filled by "File1" and "File2". Something like : - name: template test 1 template: src=myTemplateFile dest=result1 - name: template test 2 template: src=myTemplateFile dest=result2 where I could specify for the first templating that the variable to use is a = "File1" and for the second, b = "File2".

On the other hand, documentation of the Ansible API for python is not really complete.

How to copy files with ansible relatively to the role?

How do I make this work and use the files from myfrole/files from a task inside myrole/tasks , I don't want to include the role name as part of the path as it does not make much sense. If I do it will break if I duplicate the role.

I have variable named "network" registered in Ansible: { "addresses": { "private_ext": [ { "type": "fixed", "addr": "172.16.2.100" } ], "private_man": [ { "type": "fixed", "addr": "172.16.1.100" }, { "type": "floating", "addr": "10.90.80.10" } ] } } Is it possible to get the IP address ("addr") with type="floating" doing something like this? - debug: var={{ network.addresses.private_man | filter type="fixed" | get "addr" }} I know the syntax is wrong but you get the idea.

How do I register a variable and persist it between plays targeted on different nodes?
|
I have an Ansible playbook , where I would like a variable I register in a first play targeted on one node to be available in a second play, targeted on another node. Here is the playbook I am using: --- - hosts: localhost gather_facts: no tasks: - command: echo "hello world" register: foo - hosts: main gather_facts: no tasks: - debug: msg: {{ foo.stdout }} But, when I try to access the variable in the second play, targeted on main , I get this message: The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'foo' is undefined How can I access foo , registered on localhost , from main ?

How to run apt update and upgrade via Ansible shell
|
I'm trying to use Ansible to run the following two commands: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y I know with ansible you can use: ansible all -m shell -u user -K -a "uptime" Would running the following command do it? Or do I have to use some sort of raw command ansible all -m shell -u user -K -a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y"

How to get an arbitrary remote user's home directory in Ansible?
|
I can do that with shell using combination of getent and awk like this: getent passwd $user | awk -F: '{ print $6 }' For the reference, in Puppet I can use a custom fact, like this: require 'etc' Etc.passwd { |user| Facter.add("home_#{user.name}") do setcode do user.dir end end } which makes the user's home directory available as a home_<user name> fact. How do I get the home directory of an arbitrary remote user?

Ansible: create a user with sudo privileges
|
I have taken over a Ubuntu 14.04 server. It has a user called "deployer" (used with capistrano), and as such, it needs sudo privileges. With this setup, I can log into the server and do stuff like: workstation> ssh deployer@myserver myserver> sudo apt-get install git myserver> exit workstation> I am trying to figure out how to use Ansible (version 2.0.2.0 and python 2.7.3) to create a user called "deployer" and be able to log into the server with that id and then so sudo-ish things like "apt-get install". My playbook looks like this: --- - hosts: example become: yes tasks: - name: Update apt cache apt: update_cache: yes cache_valid_time: 3600 - group: name=sudo state=present - name: Add deployer user and add it to sudo user: name=deployer state=present createhome=yes become: yes become_method: "sudo" - name: Set up authorized keys for the deployer user authorized_key: user=deployer key="{{item}}" with_file: - /home/jaygodse/.ssh/id_rsa.pub After running this playbook, I am able to ssh into the machine as "deployer", (e.g. ssh deployer@myserver) but if I run a sudo command, it always asks me for my sudo password. I understand that the "deployer" user ultimately has to find its way into the visudo users file, but I cannot figure out which magical Ansible incantations to invoke so that I can ssh into the machine as deployer and then run a sudo command (e.g. sudo apt-get install git") without being prompted for a sudo password. I have searched high and low, and I can't seem to find an Ansible playbook fragment which puts the user "deployer" into the sudo group without requiring a password. How is this done?

include tasks from another role in ansible playbook

I'm designing a kind of playbook lib with individual tasks so in the usual roles repo, I have something like: roles ├── common │ └── tasks │ ├── A.yml │ ├── B.yml │ ├── C.yml │ ├── D.yml │ ├── login.yml │ ├── logout.yml │ └── save.yml ├── custom_stuff_workflow │ └── tasks │ └── main.yml └── other_stuff_workflow └── tasks └── main.yml my main.yml in custom_stuff_workflow then contain something like: --- - include: login.yml - include: A.yml - include: C.yml - include: save.yml - include: logout.yml and this one in the other workflow: --- - include: login.yml - include: B.yml - include: A.yml - include: D.yml - include: save.yml - include: logout.yml I can't find a way to do it in a natural way: one way that worked was having all tasks in a single role and tagging the relevant tasks while including a custom_stuff_workflow The problem I have with that is that tags cannot be set in the calling playbook: it's only to be set at command line as I'm distributing this ansible repo with many people in the company, I can't rely on command line invocations (it would be nice to have a #! header in yml to be processed by ansible-playbook command) I could also copy the relevant tasks (inside common in the above tree) in each workflow, but I don't want to repeat them around Can someone see a solution to achieve what I'd like without repeating the tasks over different roles? I guess the corner stone of my problem is that I define tasks as individual and it looks not natural in ansible... Thanks a lot PS: note that the tasks in the workflow have to be done in specific order and the only natural steps to abstract would be the login and save/logout PPS: I've seen this question How do I call a role from within another role in Ansible? but it does not solve my problem as it's invoking a full role and not a subset of the tasks in a role

I am trying to access the ansible_ssh_host in the test1 section of the following inventory host file: [test1] test-1 ansible_ssh_host=abc.def.ghi.jkl ansible_ssh_port=1212 [test2] test2-1 ansible_ssh_host=abc.def.ghi.mno ansible_ssh_port=1212 [test3] test3-1 ansible_ssh_host=abc.def.ghi.pqr ansible_ssh_port=1212 test3-2 ansible_ssh_host=abc.def.ghi.stu ansible_ssh_port=1212 [all:children] test1 test2 test3 I have tried accessing the role in the following fashions: {{ hostvars.ansible_ssh_host }} and {{ hostvars.test1.ansible_ssh_host }} I get this error: fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'ansible.vars.hostvars.HostVars object' has no attribute 'ansible'"}

Using Ansible set_fact to create a dictionary from register results
|
In Ansible I've used register to save the results of a task in the variable people . Omitting the stuff I don't need, it has this structure: { "results": [ { "item": { "name": "Bob" }, "stdout": "male" }, { "item": { "name": "Thelma" }, "stdout": "female" } ] } I'd like to use a subsequent set_fact task to generate a new variable with a dictionary like this: { "Bob": "male", "Thelma": "female" } I guess this might be possible but I'm going round in circles with no luck so far.

Ansible: How to encrypt some variables in an inventory file in a separate vault file?
|
The settings Consider an Ansible inventory file similar to the following example: [san_diego] host1 host2 [san_francisco] host3 host4 [west_coast] san_diego san_francisco [west_coast:vars] db_server=foo.example.com db_host=5432 db_password=top secret password The problem I would like to store some of the vars (like db_password ) in an Ansible vault , but not the entire file. How can a vault-encrypted ansible file be imported into an unencrypted inventory file? What I've tried I have created an encrypted vars file and tried importing it with: include: secrets To which ansible-playbook responded with: ERROR: variables assigned to group must be in key=value form Probably because it tried to parse the include statement as a variable.

How to retry Ansible task that may fail?
|
In my Ansible play I am restarting database then trying to do some operations on it. Restart command returns as soon as restart is started, not when db is up. Next command tries to connect to the database. That command my fail when db is not up. I want to retry my second command a few times. If last retry fails, I want to fail my play. When I do retries as follows retries: 3 delay: 5 Then retries are not executed at all, because first command execution fails whole play. I could add ignore_errors: yes but that way play will pass even if all retries failed. Is there a easy way to retry failures until I have success, but fail when no success from last retry?

Why is copying a directory with Ansible so slow?
|
I'm using Ansible to copy a directory (900 files, 136MBytes) from one host to another: --- - name: copy a directory copy: src={{some_directory}} dest={{remote_directory}} This operation takes an incredible 17 minutes, while a simple scp -r <src> <dest> takes a mere 7 seconds. I have tried the Accelerated mode, which according to the ansible docs , but to no avail. can be anywhere from 2-6x faster than SSH with ControlPersist enabled, and 10x faster than paramiko.

Difference between become and become_user in Ansible
|
Recently I started digging into Ansible and writing my own playbooks. However, I have a troubles with understanding difference between become and become_user . As I understand it become_user is something similar to su <username> , and become means something like sudo su or "perform all commands as a sudo user". But sometimes these two directives are mixed. Could you explain the correct meaning of them?

ansible: include role in a role?

Is it possible to reuse a role in a role? I do not mean via defining a dependency in the meta/main.yml file of a role but by including the role in the tasks/main.yml of another role directly? For example, I define a couple of basic roles in rolebooks and some more high level roles in roles. I want the high level roles to include some of the basic roles in addition to some specific tasks. playbooks/ rolebooks/ some_role/ roles/ webtier/ tasks/ main.yml In playbooks/roles/webtier/tasks/main.yml: - shell: echo 'hello' - { role: rolebooks/some_role } - shell: echo 'still busy' Thanks

I am learning Ansible. I have a playbook to clean up resources, and I want the playbook to ignore every error and keep going on till the end , and then fail at the end if there were errors. I can ignore errors with ignore_errors: yes If it was one task, I could do something like ( from ansible error catching) - name: this command prints FAILED when it fails command: /usr/bin/example-command -x -y -z register: command_result ignore_errors: True - name: fail the play if the previous command did not succeed fail: msg="the command failed" when: "'FAILED' in command_result.stderr" How do I fail at the end ? I have several tasks, what would my "When" condition be?

Conditionally define variable in Ansible
|
I want to conditionally define a variable in an Ansible playbook like this: my_var: "{{ 'foo' if my_condition}}" I would like the variable to remain undefined if the condition does not resolve to true . Ansible gives the following error if I try to execute the code: fatal: [foo.local] => {'msg': 'AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more undefined variables: the inline if-expression on line 1 evaluated to false and no else section was defined.', 'failed': True} Why is this an error anyway? The complete case looks like this: {role: foo, my_var: "foo"} If my_var is defined, the role does something special. In some cases, I don't want the role to do this. I could use when: condition , but then I would have to copy the whole role block. I could also use an extra bool variable, but I would like a solution without having to change the "interface" to the role. Any ideas?

Conditionally define variable in Ansible I want to conditionally define a variable in an Ansible playbook like this: my_var: "{{ 'foo' if my_condition}}" I would like the variable to remain undefined if the condition does not resolve to true . Ansible gives the following error if I try to execute the code: fatal: [foo.local] => {'msg': 'AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more undefined variables: the inline if-expression on line 1 evaluated to false and no else section was defined.', 'failed': True} Why is this an error anyway? The complete case looks like this: {role: foo, my_var: "foo"} If my_var is defined, the role does something special. In some cases, I don't want the role to do this.

Only check whether a line present in a file (ansible)

In ansible, I need to check whether a particular line present in a file or not. Basically, I need to convert the following command to an ansible task. My goal is to only check. grep -Fxq "127.0.0.1" /tmp/my.conf

Ansible playbook shell output
|
I would like to quickly monitor some hosts using commands like ps,dstat etc using ansible-playbook. The ansible command itself perfectly does what I want, for instance I'd use: ansible -m shell -a "ps -eo pcpu,user,args | sort -r -k1 | head -n5" and it nicely prints all std output for every host like this: localhost | success | rc=0 >> 0.0 root /sbin/init 0.0 root [kthreadd] 0.0 root [ksoftirqd/0] 0.0 root [migration/0] otherhost | success | rc=0 >> 0.0 root /sbin/init 0.0 root [kthreadd] 0.0 root [ksoftirqd/0] 0.0 root [migration/0] However this requires me to keep a bunch of shell scripts around for every task which is not very 'ansible' so I put this in a playbook: --- - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - shell: ps -eo pcpu,user,args | sort -r -k1 | head -n5 and run it with -vv , but the output baiscally shows the dictionary content and newlines are not printed as such so this results in an unreadable mess like this: changed: [localhost] => {"changed": true, "cmd": "ps -eo pcpu,user,args | sort -r -k1 head -n5 ", "delta": "0:00:00.015337", "end": "2013-12-13 10:57:25.680708", "rc": 0, "start": "2013-12-13 10:57:25.665371", "stderr": "", "stdout": "47.3 xxx Xvnc4 :24 -desktop xxx:24 (xxx) -auth /home/xxx/.Xauthority -geometry 1920x1200\n .... I also tried adding register: var and the a 'debug' task to show {{ var.stdout }} but the result is of course the same. Is there a way to get nicely formatted output from a command's stdout/stderr when run via a playbook? I can think of a number of possible ways (format output using sed? redirect output to file on the host then get that file back and echo it to the screen?), but with my limited knowledge of the shell/ansible it would take me a day to just try it out.

I'd like to allow anyone to list and read all files in my directory tree, but I don't want to make the files executable : dir \subdir1 file1 \subdir2 file2 ... \subdirX fileX The following task makes my directories and files readable, but it makes all the files executable as well: - name: Make my directory tree readable file: path: dir mode: 0755 recurse: yes On the other hand, if I choose mode 0644, then all my files are not executable, but I'm not able to list my directories. Is it possible to set mode 755 for all directories and 644 for all files in a directory tree?

How to continue execution on failed task after fixing error in playbook?

When writing and debugging Ansible playbooks, typical workflow is as follows: ansible-playbook ./main.yaml Playbook fails on some task Fix this task and repeat line 1, waiting for all previous tasks to execute again. Which takes a lot of time Ideally, i'd like to resume execution on failed task, having inventory and all facts collected by previous tasks. Is it even possible? How to make playbook writing/debugging faster?

How to force handler to run before executing a task in Ansible?

I have a playbook which should configure on specified IP, and than connect to this app to configure stuff inside.

My current playbook: tasks: - name: Configure app template: src=app.conf.j2 dest=/etc/app.conf notify: restart app - name: Change data in app configure_app: host={{new_ip}} data={{data}} handlers: - name: restart app service: name=app state=restarted I need to force the handler to run if configure_app changed before executing 'Change data in app'.

SSH Agent Forwarding with Ansible
|
I’m using Ansible 1.5.3 and Git with ssh agent forwarding ( [URL] ). I can log into the server that I am managing with Ansible and test that my connection to git is correctly configured: ubuntu@test:~$ ssh -T git@github.com Hi gituser! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. I can also clone and update one of my repos using this account so my git configuration looks good and uses ssh forwarding when I log into my server directly via ssh. The problem: When I attempt the same test shown above using the Ansible command module. It fails with “Permission denied”. Part of the Ansible output (with verbose logging) looks like this: failed: [xxx.xxxxx.com] => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["ssh", "-T", "git@github.com"], "delta": "0:00:00.585481", "end": "2014-06-09 14:11:37.410907", "rc": 255, "start": "2014-06-09 14:11:36.825426"} stderr: Permission denied (publickey). Here is the simple playbook that runs this command: - hosts: webservers sudo: yes remote_user: ubuntu tasks: - name: Test that git ssh connection is working. command: ssh -T git@github.com The question: why does everything work correctly when I manually log in via ssh and run the command but fail when the same command is run as the same user via Ansible? I will post the answer shortly if no one else beats me to it. Although I am using git to demonstrate the problem, it could occur with any module that depends on ssh agent forwarding. It is not specific to Ansible but I suspect many will first encounter the problem in this scenario.

Ansible notify handlers in another role
|
Can I notify the handler in another role? What should I do to make ansible find it? The use case is, e.g. I want to configure some service and then restart it if changed. Different OS have probably different files to edit and even the file format can be different. So I would like to put them into different roles (because the file format can be different, it can't be done by setting group_vars). But the way to restart the service is the same, using service module; so I'd like to put the handler to common role. Is anyway to achieve this? Thanks.

How to use arithmetic when setting a variable value in Ansible?

I have been trying different variations of the line below. I'm not ever sure that it is possible, but any help would be appreciated. vars: ramsize: '"{{ ansible_memtotal_mb }}" * .80'

None of this works: - name: Set environment variable command: > export EXTRA_CONFIG=“'”{"client": {"subscriptions": ["DIND-Worker"], "cluster": "internal"}}“'” - name: Set environment variable command: > export EXTRA_CONFIG=''{"client": {"subscriptions": ["DIND-Worker"], "cluster": "internal"}}'' - name: Set environment variable command: > export EXTRA_CONFIG=''{\"client\": {\"subscriptions\": [\"DIND-Worker\"], \"cluster\": \"internal\"}}'' Looked at this: [URL] [URL] The error message I get is: fatal: [ip.address]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "export 'EXTRA_CONFIG={\"client\":' '{\"subscriptions\":' '[\"DIND-Worker\"],' '\"cluster\":' '\"internal\"}}'", "failed": true, "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2}

Is Ansible a replacement for a CI tool like Hudson/Jenkins?
|
Recently, in our company, we decided to use Ansible for deployment and continuous integration. But when I started using Ansible I didn't find modules for building Java projects with Maven, or modules for running JUnit tests, or JMeter tests. So, I'm in a doubtful state: it may be I'm using Ansible in a wrong way. When I looked at Jenkins, it can do things like build, run tests, deploy. The missing thing in Hudson is creating/deleting an instance in cloud environments like AWS. So, in general, for what purposes do we need to use Ansible/Jenkins? For CI do I need to use a combination of Ansible and Jenkins? Please throw some light on correct usage of Ansible.

Displaying output of a remote command with Ansible
|
In an Ansible role I generate the user's SSH key. After that I want to print it to the screen and pause so the user can copy and paste it somewhere else. So far I have something like this: - name: Generate SSH keys for vagrant user user: name=vagrant generate_ssh_key=yes ssh_key_bits=2048 - name: Show SSH public key command: /bin/cat $home_directory/.ssh/id_rsa.pub - name: Wait for user to copy SSH public key pause: prompt="Please add the SSH public key above to your GitHub account" The 'Show SSH public key' task completes but doesn't show the output. TASK: [Show SSH public key] *************************************************** changed: [default] There may be a better way of going about this. I don't really like the fact that it will always show a 'changed' status. I did find this pull request for ansible - [URL] - but not sure if I can use it without writing my own module.

Using set_facts and with_items together in Ansible
|
I'm currently using Ansible 1.7.2. I have the following test playbook: --- - hosts: localhost tasks: - name: set fact 1 set_fact: foo="[ 'zero' ]" - name: set fact 2 set_fact: foo="{{ foo }} + [ 'one' ]" - name: set fact 3 set_fact: foo="{{ foo }} + [ 'two', 'three' ]" - name: set fact 4 set_fact: foo="{{ foo }} + [ '{{ item }}' ]" with_items: - four - five - six - debug: var=foo The first task sets a fact that's a list with one item in it. The subsequent tasks append to that list with more values. The first three tasks work as expected, but the last one doesn't. Here's the output when I run this: PLAY [localhost] ************************************************************** GATHERING FACTS *************************************************************** ok: [localhost] TASK: [set fact 1] ************************************************************ ok: [localhost] TASK: [set fact 2] ************************************************************ ok: [localhost] TASK: [set fact 3] ************************************************************ ok: [localhost] TASK: [set fact 4] ************************************************************ ok: [localhost] => (item=four) ok: [localhost] => (item=five) ok: [localhost] => (item=six) TASK: [debug var=foo] ********************************************************* ok: [localhost] => { "foo": [ "zero", "one", "two", "three", "six" ] } PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** localhost : ok=6 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 Given the with_items in task 4 and the fact that the output shows the task properly iterated over the items in that list, I would have expected the result to contain all the numbers zero through six. But that last task seems to only be evaluating set_fact with the last item in the list. Is this possibly a bug in Ansible? Edit: I also just tested this on ansible 1.8 and the output was identical.

Why does Ansible show "ERROR! no action detected in task" error?
|
Ansible shows an error: ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path. What is wrong? The exact transcript is: ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path. The error appears to have been in 'playbook.yml': line 10, column 3, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: --- - name: My task name ^ here

Ansible. Fast way to check syntax?
|
Is there a way to check playbook syntax and variables? I'm trying to dry-run (--check) but for some reasons it works really slow. It looks like it tries to perform an action instead of just checking the syntax. I want to omit errors like this: ..."msg": "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: ERROR! 'application_name' is undefined"}

Proper way to concatenate variable strings
|
I need to create new variable from contents of other variables. Currently I'm using something like this: - command: echo "{{ var1 }}-{{ var2 }}-{{ var3 }}" register: newvar The problem is: Usage of {{ var1 }}...{{ varN }} brings too long strings and very ugly code. Usage of {{ newvar.stdout }} a bit better but confusing. Usage of set_fact module caches fact between runs. It isn't appropriate for me. Is there any other solution?

How to detect why Ansible playbook hangs during execution
|
Some of tasks I wrote start and never end. Ansible does not provide any errors or logs that would explain this, even with -vvvv option. Playbook just hangs and passing hours doesn't change anything. When I try to run my tasks manually (by entering commands via SSH) everything is fine. Example task that hangs: - name: apt upgrade shell: apt-get upgrade Is there any way to see stdout and stderr ? I tried: - name: apt upgrade shell: apt-get upgrade register: hello - debug: msg="{{ hello.stdout }}" - debug: msg="{{ hello.stderr }}" but nothing changed. I do have required permissions and I pass correct sudo password - other tasks that require sudo execute correctly.

fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory on pip2 install pyOpenSSL
|
One of the steps I always use to install / build my Ansible agent on target nodes was pip2 install pyOpenSSL . This is a requirement for your Ansible client in order to use the standard Ansible module for creating self signed certificates for example openssl_certificate Since today this no longer works. I can reproduce this message as follows: vagrant init generic/ubuntu1804 vagrant ssh sudo su - apt-get update && apt-get -y install python python-pip pip2 install pyOpenSSL The last step fails with message below. What is correct way to install pyOpenSSL on Ubuntu 18.04 at the moment? Is there a workaround for this problem? Or beter, is there a Python distribution for Ansible? That includes all dependencies so I don't have to compile build my own Ansible client? root@ubuntu1804:~# pip2 install pyOpenSSL Collecting pyOpenSSL Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None,

fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory on pip2 install pyOpenSSL One of the steps I always use to install / build my Ansible agent on target nodes was pip2 install pyOpenSSL . This is a requirement for your Ansible client in order to use the standard Ansible module for creating self signed certificates for example openssl_certificate Since today this no longer works. I can reproduce this message as follows: vagrant init generic/ubuntu1804 vagrant ssh sudo su - apt-get update && apt-get -y install python python-pip pip2 install pyOpenSSL The last step fails with message below. What is correct way to install pyOpenSSL on Ubuntu 18.04 at the moment? Is there a workaround for this problem? Or beter, is there a Python distribution for Ansible? That includes all dependencies so I don't have to compile build my own Ansible client? root@ubuntu1804:~# pip2 install pyOpenSSL Collecting pyOpenSSL Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None,

Ansible - Save registered variable to file

How would I save a registered Variable to a file? I took this from the tutorial : - hosts: web_servers tasks: - shell: /usr/bin/foo register: foo_result ignore_errors: True - shell: /usr/bin/bar when: foo_result.rc == 5 How would I save foo_result variable to a file e.g. foo_result.log using ansible?

Ansible: Get all the IP addresses of a group

So that I can use the |join() command on them. Update2: I just thought I had figured it out... but it turns out that you cannot use the {% %} syntax in the playbook... or can I?

Create and use group without restart
|
I have a task, that creates a group. - name: add user to docker group user: name=USERNAME groups=docker append=yes sudo: true In another playbook I need to run a command that relies on having the new group permission. Unfortunately this does not work because the new group is only loaded after I logout and login again. I have tried some stuff like: su -l USERNAME or newgrp docker; newgrp But nothing worked. Is there any change to force Ansible to reconnect to the host and does a relogin? A reboot would be the last option.

Pass array in --extra-vars
|
How can I pass YAML array to --extra-vars in Ansible playbook? I mean if I have a playbook: - hosts: "{{ hostName }}" remote_user: admin Then I should call my playbook like ansible-playbook DeployWar.yml \ --extra-vars="hostName=tomcat-webApp" But I want to run this playbook on two servers say tomcat-webApp and tomcat-all , and I want to control it from outside, i.e.: using --extra-vars . What I have tried to do is: ansible-playbook DeployWar.yml \ --extra-vars="hostName=[tomcat-webApp, tomcat-all]" ansible-playbook DeployWar.yml \ --extra-vars="hostName={tomcat-webApp, tomcat-all}" ansible-playbook DeployWar.yml \ --extra-vars="[{hostName: tomcat-webApp}, {hostName: tomcat-all}]" But in all cases my playbook fails declaring a syntax error in my call.

Ansible: read remote file
|
I generate files with ansible on remote host and after this generation, I would like to read theses files in another task. I don't find any module to read remote file with ansible (lookup seems only on local host). Do you know a module like this ? Thanks EDIT: Here is my use case: I generate ssh keys and I add it to github. These keys are setting by an object in var files so I loop like this to generate it: tasks: - name: Create ssh key user: name: "{{sshConfigFile.user}}" generate_ssh_key: yes ssh_key_file: ".ssh/{{item.value.file}}" state: present with_dict: "{{sshConfiguration}}" It works very fine but how read these keys to send it to github via the API ?

Check if service exists with Ansible
|
I have an Ansible playbook for deploying a Java app as an init.d daemon. Being a beginner in both Ansible and Linux I'm having trouble to conditionally execute tasks on a host based on the host's status. Namely I have some hosts having the service already present and running where I want to stop it before doing anything else. And then there might be new hosts, which don't have the service yet. So I can't simply use service: name={{service_name}} state=stopped , because this will fail on new hosts. How I can I achieve this? Here's what I have so far: - name: Check if Service Exists shell: "if chkconfig --list | grep -q my_service; then echo true; else echo false; fi;" register: service_exists # This should only execute on hosts where the service is present - name: Stop Service service: name={{service_name}} state=stopped when: service_exists register: service_stopped # This too - name: Remove Old App Folder command: rm -rf {{app_target_folder}} when: service_exists # This should be executed on all hosts, but only after the service has stopped, if it was present - name: Unpack App Archive unarchive: src=../target/{{app_tar_name}} dest=/opt

Here's what I have so far: - name: Check if Service Exists shell: "if chkconfig --list | grep -q my_service; then echo true; else echo false; fi;" register: service_exists # This should only execute on hosts where the service is present - name: Stop Service service: name={{service_name}} state=stopped when: service_exists register: service_stopped # This too - name: Remove Old App Folder command: rm -rf {{app_target_folder}} when: service_exists # This should be executed on all hosts, but only after the service has stopped, if it was present - name: Unpack App Archive unarchive: src=../target/{{app_tar_name}} dest=/opt

merging dictionaries in ansible
|
I'm currently building a role for installing PHP using ansible, and I'm having some difficulty merging dictionaries. I've tried several ways to do so, but I can't get it to work like I want it to: # A vars file: my_default_values: key = value my_values: my_key = my_value # In a playbook, I create a task to attempt merging the # two dictionaries (which doesn't work): - debug: msg="{{ item.key }} = {{ item.value }}" with_dict: my_default_values + my_values # I have also tried: - debug: msg="{{ item.key }} = {{ item.value }}" with_dict: my_default_values|union(my_values) # I have /some/ success with using j2's update, # but you can't use j2 syntax in "with_dict", it appears. # This works: - debug: msg="{{ my_default_values.update(my_values) }}" # But this doesn't: - debug: msg="{{ item.key }} = {{ item.value }}" with_dict: my_default_values.update(my_values) Is there a way to merge two dictionaries, so I can use it with "with_dict"?

How to get the first element of a list from the output of setup module in Ansible?
|
I received the following data from the setup module: "ansible_nodename": "3d734bc2a391", "ansible_os_family": "RedHat", "ansible_pkg_mgr": "yum", "ansible_processor": [ "AuthenticAMD", "AMD PRO A10-8700B R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G" ], "ansible_processor_cores": 1, "ansible_processor_count": 1, "ansible_processor_threads_per_core": 1, I want to retrieve the 1st value of ansible_processor and use it in a Jinja2 template. If I use {{ ansible_processor }} , it's giving me both values: "AuthenticAMD", "AMD PRO A10-8700B R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G" But I want only the first one.

Ansible date variable
|
I'm trying to learn how to use Ansible facts as variables, and I don't get it. When I run... $ ansible localhost -m setup ...it lists all of the facts of my system. I selected one at random to try and use it, ansible_facts.ansible_date_time.date, but I can't figure out HOW to use it. When I run... $ ansible localhost -m setup -a "filter=ansible_date_time" localhost | success >> { "ansible_facts": { "ansible_date_time": { "date": "2015-07-09", "day": "09", "epoch": "1436460014", "hour": "10", "iso8601": "2015-07-09T16:40:14Z", "iso8601_micro": "2015-07-09T16:40:14.795637Z", "minute": "40", "month": "07", "second": "14", "time": "10:40:14", "tz": "MDT", "tz_offset": "-0600", "weekday": "Thursday", "year": "2015" } }, "changed": false } So, it's CLEARLY there. But when I run... $ ansible localhost -a "echo {{ ansible_facts.ansible_date_time.date }}" localhost | FAILED => One or more undefined variables: 'ansible_facts' is undefined $ ansible localhost -a "echo {{ ansible_date_time.date }}" localhost | FAILED => One or more undefined variables: 'ansible_date_time' is undefined $ ansible localhost -a "echo {{ date }}" localhost | FAILED => One or more undefined variables: 'date' is undefined What am I not getting here? How do I use Facts as variables?
