How to keep ansible role from running multiple times when listed as a dependency?
|
We broke down our giant ansible workspace into individual, simple roles that can be run on their own. They all depend on our yum role that provisions repositories, etc, and all the roles (A, B, C) have it listed in their meta.yml : ./roles_galaxy/A/meta/main.yml: dependencies: - name: yum-repo src: foo ./roles_galaxy/B/meta/main.yml: dependencies: - name: yum-repo src: foo ./roles_galaxy/C/meta/main.yml: dependencies: - name: yum-repo src: foo However, this causes the yum-repo role to be executed multiple times when our deploy playbook is run, so we see multiple executions of the yum-repo role. We don't want it to do this, as it just takes up extra time and runs repeatedly: Playbook: - name: Common Roles hosts: things roles: - A - B - C Output: PLAY [Role A] ... TASK [yum-repo ...] PLAY [Role B] ... TASK [yum-repo ...] PLAY [Role C] ... TASK [yum-repo ...] I've tried allow_duplicates = false in our ansible.cfg , but I don't think that's the right solution as it still executes multiple times. If there's more information needed, I'm more than happy to try to provide a cleaned up version of it. Running ansible-2.5.5 currently.

Is there an easy way to generate a graph of Ansible role dependencies?
|
Since version 1.3, Ansible has supported role dependencies to encourage reuse of role definitions. To audit and maintain larger orchestrations, it would be nice to have some way to easily generate a dependency graph of which roles depend on which other roles. An example of dependency definitions might be roles/app_node/meta/main.yml : --- dependencies: - { role: common, some_parameter: 3 } - { role: apache, port: 80 } - { role: postgres_client, dbname: blarg, other_parameter: 12 } where roles/postgres_client/meta/main.yml might include something like --- dependencies: - { role: postgres_common } - { role: stunnel, client: yes, local_port: 5432 remote_host: db_host remote_port: 15432 } Such nested dependencies can get messy to maintain when the number of roles in an orchestration grows. I therefore wonder if anyone has found an easy way to generate a graph of such dependencies, either graphically (dot or neato?) or just as an indented text graph? Such a tool could help reduce the maintenance complexity.

Ansible using systemd instead of service module
|
I'm just getting my feet wet with Ansible 2.2 and Debops and I've run into the following problem. I have a host test-host to which I deployed a MySQL server (using geerlingguy.mysql ). The role uses the following handler to restart the service: --- - name: restart mysql service: "name={{ mysql_daemon }} state=restarted sleep=5" which, I thought, uses Ansibles service module to restart the server. However, that fails: unsupported parameter for module: sleep So just to rule out any weirdness with that custom role, I've tried to execute the module directly like so: ansible test-host -b -m service -a 'name=mysql sleep=5 state=restarted' with the same result. Running Ansible with more verbose output shows (among other things): Running systemd Using module file /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible-2.2.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules/core/system/systemd.py So it appears that the systemd module is used instead of service (looking into the module shows that it is indeed aliased to service ). And, lo and behold, systemd does not support the sleep parameter. How to fix this?

Querying ansible global group variables via (python)
|
I'm trying to query global group variables set in Ansible. I seem to be getting an empty dictionary and I'm not sure what else I can do. My code looks like this: def __init__(self, inventory_path=None): self.loader = DataLoader() self.variable_manager = VariableManager() self.inventory = Inventory(loader=self.loader, variable_manager=self.variable_manager, host_list=inventory_path) self.variable_manager.set_inventory(self.inventory) when I then try to get group vars as below: inventory_asg_groups = filter(lambda g: 'asg' in g, self.inventory.groups) for group in inventory_asg_groups: print(self.inventory.get_group_vars(self.inventory.get_group(group))) I get an empty dictionary: {} when I just do a: print(self.inventory.localhost.vars) I get this: {'ansible_python_interpreter': '/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7', 'ansible_connection': 'local'} I know the inventory is being loaded, since I list all the groups in the inventory. How do I get the variables listed in group_vars/all via the python ansible api?

How to change ansible verbosity level without changing the command line arguments?
|
I want to control the verbosity of ansible playbooks using an environment variable or a global configuration item. This is because ansible is called from multiple places in multiple ways and I want to change the logging level for all further executions from the same shell session. I observed that if I configure ANSIBLE_DEBUG=true ansible will run in debug mode but debug more is extremely verbose and I am only looking for something similar to the -vvv option (DEBUG is more verbose than even -vvvv option) I tried to look for a variable inside [URL] but I wasn't able to find one this fits the bill.

In Ansible how do you change a existing dictionary/hash values using a variable for the key
|
As the title suggest i want to loop over an existing dictionary and change some values, based on the answer to this question i came up with the code below but it doesn't work as the values are unchanged in the second debug call, I'm thinking it is because in the other question they are creating a new dictionary from scratch, but I've also tried it without the outer curly bracket which i would have thought would have caused it to change the existing value. - set_fact: uber_dict: a_dict: some_key: "abc" another_key: "def" b_dict: some_key: "123" another_key: "456" - debug: var="uber_dict" - set_fact: "{ uber_dict['{{ item }}']['some_key'] : 'xyz' }" with_items: "{{ uber_dict }}" - debug: var="uber_dict"

Override Ansible playbook serial from command line
|
We use serial in nearly all of our playbooks but there are occasions where we need to make a quick change and it's unnecessary for the Ansible to abide by the serial restriction. Is there a way to override serial from the command line with a flag as part of the ansible-playbook command? Code example: - hosts: database serial: 1 become: yes Many thanks in advance!

How to strip newline from shell command's standard output run via ansible
|
So I have a scenario where I am executing a shell command on a machine using ansible to get some information on standard output . I am using register to log its result in a variable my_info and print my_info using debug , I am seeing its result with \n appended to it (Ansible has appended \n .Same command on linux do not appends \n" ).When I use the my_info in templates for a config it prints a new line in config hence messing up my config . Here is how the code and output goes . Ansible code : - name: calculate range address start raw: grep 'CONFIG_PARAMS' /path/to/the/file | head -n 1 register: my_info Output : ok: [My_HOST] => { "msg": "CONFIG_PARAMS\n" } How can we strip the space from this output or possibly make a change in template so that new line don't gets printed .

Ansible lint reports "Package installs should not use latest"
|
I've finally started using Ansible Lint to ensure I'm up to date and not missing things and I've found it reporting a curious error/notice. When I use dnf to install a package, I've been using state: latest as it's for a system bootstrapping process that I may run multiple times on the same instance, particularly during development. I always want the latest package installed in this scenario however Ansible Lint is reporting: Package installs should not use latest While I'm confident that in my use case I'm ok, is this simply because in the interest of "idempotency" one would normally not want this behaviour? Or is there another reason? If they're always going to report this, then why even offer the latest status option?

remove block of text from config file using ansible
|
I am trying to remove the below section from samba config file smb.conf. [public] path = /opt/samba/public guest ok = yes browsable = yes writable = yes read only = no Blockinfile module won't work as there are no markers . Lineinfile will also have a problem as there are lines which are common to other sections. e.g browsable = yes writable = yes How do I remove these lines using ansible? PS: replacing the config file with a new one is not possible as each server has a unique user mapped to it (not ideal when running batch jobs)

How to automatically install Ansible Galaxy roles, using Vagrant?

Using one playbook only, then it's not possible to have Ansible automagically install the dependent roles. At least according to this SO thread . But, I have the added "advantage" of using Vagrant and Vagrant's Ansible local provisioner . Any tricks I may apply?

Ansible synchronize mode permissions
|
I'm using an Ansible playbook to copy files between my host and a server. The thing is, I have to run the script repeatedly in order to upload some updates. At the beginning I was using the "copy" module of Ansible, but to improve performance of the synchronizing of files and directories, I've now switched to use the "synchronize" module. That way I can ensure Ansible uses rsync instead of sftp or scp. With the "copy" module, I was able to specify the file's mode in the destination host by adding the mode option (e.g. mode=644 ). I want to do that using synchronize, but it only has the perms option that accepts yes or no as values. Is there a way to specify the file's mode using "synchronize", without having to inherit it? Thx!

Ansible - Default/Explicit Tags

I've got a playbook that includes and tags various roles: - name: base hosts: "{{ host | default('localhost') }}" roles: - { role: apt, tags: [ 'base', 'apt', 'ubuntu']} - { role: homebrew, tags: [ 'base', 'homebrew', osx' ]} - { role: base16, tags: [ 'base', 'base16', 'osx' ]} - { role: nodejs, tags: [ 'base', 'nodejs' ]} - { role: tmux, tags: [ 'base', 'tmux' ]} - { role: vim, tags: [ 'base', 'vim' ]} - { role: virtualenv, tags: [ 'base', virtualenv', 'python' ]} - { role: homebrew_cask, tags: [ 'desktop', 'homebrew_cask', osx' ]} - { role: gnome_terminator, tags: [ 'desktop', 'gnome_terminator', ubuntu' ]} Most of the tasks are using when clauses to determine which OS they should run on, for example: - name: install base packages when: ansible_distribution == 'MacOSX' sudo: no homebrew: name: "{{ item.name }}" state: latest install_options: "{{ item.install_options|default() }}" with_items: homebrew_packages If I run ansible-playbook base.yml without specifying any tags, all the tasks run. If I specify a tag, for example ansible-playbook base.yml --tags='base' , only the roles tagged with base run . By default (if no tags are specified), I'd only like to run the roles tagged with 'base' , and not the roles tagged with 'desktop' . It would also be really nice to set a default 'os' tag, based on the current operating system, to avoid including all the tasks for the ubuntu when I'm running the playbook on OSX (and vice-versa). Any ideas if this is possible, and how I might do it?

How do you prevent a dpkg installation task to notify a changed state when it runs for the second time?
|
There isn't a module for installing .deb packages directly. When you have to run dpkg as a command, it always mark the installation task as one that has changed. I'd some trouble configuring it correctly, so I'm posting here as a public notebook. Here is the task to install with dpkg: - name: Install old python command: dpkg -i {{ temp_dir }}/{{ item }} with_items: - python2.4-minimal_2.4.6-6+precise1_i386.deb - python2.4_2.4.6-6+{{ ubuntu_release }}1_i386.deb - libpython2.4_2.4.6-6+{{ ubuntu_release }}1_i386.deb - python2.4-dev_2.4.6-6+{{ ubuntu_release }}1_i386.deb The files where uploaded to {{temp_dir}} in another task.

Redirect command output to file (existing command)
|
To write the stdout of a command (in this case, echo hi ) to a file, you can do: echo hi > outfile I would like a command instead of a redirection or pipe so that I do not need to invoke a shell. This is eventually for use with Ansible, which calls python's subprocess.POpen . I am looking for: stdout-to-file outfile echo hi tee makes copying stdout to a file easy enough, but it accepts stdin, not a separate command. Is there a common, portable command that does this? It's easy enough to write one, of course, but that's not the question. Ultimately, in Ansible, I want to do: command: to-file /opt/binary_data base64 -d {{ base64_secret }} Instead of: shell: base64 -d {{ base64_secret }} > /opt/binary_data Edit: Looking for a command available on RHEL 7, Fedora 21

Does Ansible manages all hosts in parallel or just five? (-f and :serial)
|
I read this two ansible docs: ansible-playbook -f --> Statement 1 ansible-playbook :serial --> Statement 2 and I found this two statements: Statement 1 -f <FORKS>, --forks <FORKS> specify number of parallel processes to use (default=5) Statement 2 Rolling Update Batch Size . By default, Ansible will try to manage all of the machines referenced in a play in parallel. For a rolling update use case, you can define how many hosts Ansible should manage at a single time by using the serial keyword: Question What's correct? Does ansible uses all hosts at once or just 5? Or is maybe 5 just the default value of the -f parameter? Thanks for clarifying that! Cheers

However, Jinja2 tries to substitute the {{ NET_SEG_VLAN }} in the JSON file and throws and undefined error. The intention is not to substitute anything inside the JSON file using Jinja2 and send the body as it is in http request.

Access variable from one role in another role in an Ansible playbook with multiple hosts
|
I'm using the latest version of Ansible, and I am trying to use a default variable in role-one used on host one , in role-two , used on host two , but I can't get it to work. Nothing I have found in the documentation or on StackOverflow has really helped. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Ideally I want to set the value of the variable once, and be able to use it in another role for any host in my playbook. I've broken it down below.

Access variable from one role in another role in an Ansible playbook with multiple hosts I'm using the latest version of Ansible, and I am trying to use a default variable in role-one used on host one , in role-two , used on host two , but I can't get it to work. Nothing I have found in the documentation or on StackOverflow has really helped. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Ideally I want to set the value of the variable once, and be able to use it in another role for any host in my playbook. I've broken it down below. In my inventory I have a hosts group called [test] which has two hosts aliased as one and two . [test] one ansible_host=10.0.1.10 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_user=centos ansible_ssh_private_key_file=<path_to_key> two ansible_host=10.0.1.20 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_user=centos ansible_ssh_private_key_file=<path_to_key> I have a single playbook with a play for each of these hosts and I supply the hosts: value as "{{ host_group }}[0]" for host one and "{{ host_group }}[1]" for host two .

Ignore all errors in vimrc at vim startup

I am trying to create an Ansible script to set up my mac. One role is to set up vim. A first clone my dot-files into a local folder and symlink them to ~/.

So I try to start vim to install all extensions like this: - name: vim | Install vundle plugins shell: vim +PluginInstall +qall But when I start this, I get the error: E185: Cannot find color scheme 'molokai' Is it possible to suppress this error messages for the first startup?

Ansible playbook, what is the proper syntax to run a powershell script with a specific (domain) user, in an elevated mode?
|
running Ansible 2.4.2 in an offline environment, using kerberos to authenticate, Via an ansible playbook, what is the proper syntax to run a powershell script with a specific (domain) user: DOMAIN\someuser, in an elevated mode? By elevated mode I mean that in the Windows interface, I'd run the script by login in as DOMAIN\someuser , then by right clicking a cmd or powershell prompt shortcut, choosing "run as administrator". This of course does not mean I can run the script with the local user: "administrator". What I want to run is: powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -noninteractive -nologo -file "myscript.ps1" What I tried in a become.yml: - name: sigh win_command: powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -noninteractive -nologo -file "myscript.ps1" become: yes become_user: DOMAIN\someuser become_password: someuserpassword become_method: runas The script runs, with errors that relate to it not running in elevation. Tried the same with win_shell and raw. Tried without the become_user and become_password (the yml runs with the someuser@DOMAIN.local user and password so I don't really know if it's required for become). I'm dragging through this and finding no reference to a solution via become: [URL] Any ideas?

Ansible - grab a key from a dictionary (but not in a loop)
|
Another question regarding dictionaries in Ansible! For convenience, I have certain values for mysql databases held in dictionaries, which works fine to loop over using with_dict to create the DBs and DB users. mysql_dbs: db1: user: db1user pass: "jdhfksjdf" accessible_from: localhost db2: user: db2user pass: "npoaivrpon" accessible_from: localhost task: - name: Configure mysql users mysql_user: name={{ item.value.user }} password={{ item.value.pass }} host={{ item.value.accessible_from }} priv={{ item.key }}.*:ALL state=present with_dict: "{{ mysql_dbs }}" However, I would like to use the key from one of the dictionaries in another task, but I don't want to loop over the dictionaries, I would only like to use one at a time. How would I grab the key that describes the dictionary (sorry, not sure about terminology)? problem task: - name: Add the db1 schema shell: mysql {{ item }} < /path/to/db1.sql with_items: '{{ mysql_dbs[db1] }}' Error in ansible run: fatal: [myhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'item' is undefined"} I'm willing to believe with_items isn't the best strategy here, but does anyone have any ideas what is the right one? Thanks in advance, been stuck on this for a while now...

Using variable in default filter in Ansible Jinja2 template
|
Inside a an Ansible Jinja2 template I'm trying to set a "default" value which also has a variable in it but it's printing out the literal rather than interpolating it. For example: homedir = {{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['instances'][app_instance]['homedir'] | default("/home/{{ app_instance }}/airflow") }} returns: airflow_home = /home/{{ app_instance }}/airflow How to refer to the app_instance variable?

Decryption failed (no vault secrets would found that could decrypt)

I tossed a debug task right after the variable include and all my variables that were encrypted displayed. The weird thing is the block of tasks where the exception is occurring is using a synchronize module. No variables from the vault are even being used... Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Ansible - Creating dictionary from a list

Warning while constructing a mapping in Ansible

Whenever I run my playbook the following warning comes up: [WARNING]: While constructing a mapping from /etc/ansible/roles/foo/tasks/main.yml, line 17, column 3, found a duplicate dict key (file). Using last defined value only. The relevant part of my main.yml in the tasks folder is like this: (line 17 is the task to clean the files which seems a bit off so I guess the problem is with the previous "script" line) - name: Run script to format output script: foo.py {{ taskname }} /tmp/fcpout.log - name: Clean temp files file: path=/tmp/fcpout.log state=absent And my vars file: --- my_dict: {SLM: "114", Regular: "255", Production: "1"} taskid: "{{my_dict[taskname]}}" To run my playbook I do: ansible-playbook playbooks/foo.yml --extra-vars "server=bar taskname=SLM" What I'm trying to do is to take the command line arguments, set the hosts: with the "server" parameter, get the taskname and from that find out to which id refers to. This id is used as the first input to my python script which runs remotely. The playbook works fine, but I don't understand why I get a warning. Could anyone explain what is wrong here?

Django compress error: Invalid input of type: 'CacheKey'
|
We suddenly started getting this issue when compressing django static files on production servers. Ubuntu 16.04, Python 3.x, Django 1.11. I am using an ansible-playbook to deploy. The error is as follows: CommandError: An error occurred during rendering /chalktalk/app/chalktalk-react-40/chalktalk-react-40/chalktalk/apps/exams/templates/exams/section-edit.html: Invalid input of type: 'CacheKey'. Convert to a byte, string or number first. It doesn't seem to be an issue in one of the static files but a general issue. Every time we run it, we get a different file. I was looking for any clues on google and nothing shows up with the same error.

How to perform Ansible task if given directory is not empty?
|
I am using Ansible to move logs to backup directory (using shell module, mv command). mv command fails if there are no files to move. By default, it causes whole Ansible play to fail. I can proceed with play, even if task fails ( ignore_errors: yes ) I am not satisfied with this solution, because it produces error message TASK [move files to backup directory] ****************************************** fatal: [xx.xx.xx.xx]: FAILED! =...?No such file or directory", "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": [], "warnings": []} ...ignoring How to check if directory is empty in Ansible, and if empty jus skip task?

How to use --ask-become-pass with ansible 1.9.4
|
I am a new user to ansible. I am attempting to use the privilege escalation feature to append a line to a file owned by root. The following documentation tells me I can use --ask-become-pass with become_user to be prompted for the become_user password but I have no idea how to use it. [URL] My current code I am working with is as follows: - name: Add deploy to sudoers remote_user: me become: yes become_method: su ask_become_pass: true lineinfile: dest=/etc/somefile line=sometext regexp="^sometext" owner=root state=present insertafter=EOF create=True Which gives me the error: ERROR: ask_become_pass is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler Can anyone give me an idea of what I might be doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.

How to get just the version of the software when using ansible_facts.packages["zabbix-agent"]
|
I'm having an issue with using the package_facts module in Ansible. Basically, I just want to get the version of zabbix-agent installed as I need to do some stuff depending on which version is installed. Now I got this in a playbook task: - name: Gather Installed Packages Facts package_facts: manager: "auto" tags: - zabbix-check - name: "Zabbix Found test result" debug: var=ansible_facts.packages['zabbix-agent'] when: "'zabbix-agent' in ansible_facts.packages" tags: - zabbix-check - name: "Zabbix Not-found test result" debug: msg: "Zabbix NOT found" when: "'zabbix-agent' not in ansible_facts.packages" tags: - zabbix-check Which spits out something like this: ok: [vm3] => { "ansible_facts.packages['zabbix-agent']": [ { "arch": "x86_64", "epoch": null, "name": "zabbix-agent", "release": "1.el7", "source": "rpm", "version": "4.0.10" ] } ok: [vm4] => { "ansible_facts.packages['zabbix-agent']": [ { "arch": "x86_64", "epoch": null, "name": "zabbix-agent", "release": "1.el7", "source": "rpm", "version": "3.2.11" } ] } I want to get the value of that "Version": "3.2.11" so that I can store that in a variable and use that later. I've seen that post using yum and doing some json query but that won't work for me.

Specifying a particular callback to be used in playbook
|
I have created different playbooks for different operations in ansible . And I have also created different Callback Scripts for different kinds of Playbooks (And packaged them with Ansible and installed). The playbooks will be called from many different scripts/cron jobs. Now, is it possible to specify a particular callback script to be called for a particular playbook ? (Using a command line argument probably?) What's happening right now is, all the Callback scripts are called for each playbook. I cannot put the callback script relative to the location/folder of the playbook because it's already packaged inside the ansible package. Also, all the playbooks are in the same location too. I am fine with modifying a bit of ansible source code to accommodate it too if needed.

Ansible EC2 Dynamic inventory minimum IAM policies
|
Has someone figured out the minimum IAM policies required to run the EC2 dynamic inventory script ( ec2.py ) on ansible via an IAM role? So far, I haven't seen a concrete reference in this matter other than specifying credentials for boto library in the official documentation of ansible, however, on production environments, I rarely use key pairs for access to AWS services from EC2 instances, instead I have embraced the use of IAM roles for that case scenario. I have tried policies allowing ec2:Describe* actions but it doesn't seem to be enough for the script as it always exits with Unauthorized operation . Could you help me out?

How to check out most recent git tag using Ansible?
|
Is there an easy way to have Ansible check out the most recent tag on a particular git branch, without having to specify or pass in the tag? That is, can Ansible detect or derive the most recent tag on a branch or is that something that needs to be done separately using the shell module or something?

How to decode a Base64 var to a binary file with Ansible module
|
I am reading a base64 file from HashiCorp’s vault with the help of the hashi_vault module. Sample of code: - name: Vault get b64.pfx file set_fact: b64_pfx: "{{ lookup('hashi_vault', 'secret={{ path_pfx }} token={{ token }} url={{ url }} cacert={{ role_path}}/files/CA.pem')}}" Then as a next step I need to decode this base64 var to a binary format and store it in in a file. I am currently using shell module to do the work.

How to decode a Base64 var to a binary file with Ansible module I am reading a base64 file from HashiCorp’s vault with the help of the hashi_vault module. Sample of code: - name: Vault get b64.pfx file set_fact: b64_pfx: "{{ lookup('hashi_vault', 'secret={{ path_pfx }} token={{ token }} url={{ url }} cacert={{ role_path}}/files/CA.pem')}}" Then as a next step I need to decode this base64 var to a binary format and store it in in a file. I am currently using shell module to do the work. Sample of code: - name: Decode Base64 file to binary shell: "echo {{ b64_pfx }} | base64 --decode > {{ pfxFile }}" delegate_to: localhost I was looking online for possible solutions e.g. ( Copy module with base64-encoded binary file adds extra character and How to upload encrypted file using ansible vault? ).

Setup windows 10 workstation using Ansible installed on WSL
|
I have installed Ansible in the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) within my Windows 10 workstation. My goal is configure both, WSL, and the Windows 10 itself. I'm able to run playbooks against localhost, which connect and configures via SSH the WSL. However I am not sure Ansible can run playbooks against the Windows host to be able to setup Windows itself (e.g. install packages using Chocolatey) Is that even possible? Or Ansible can only setup a windows node when is installed in a different Linux machine?

Ansible 2.4 hostfile warning

In Ansible 2.4, I'm getting this deprecation warning: [DEPRECATION WARNING]: [defaults]hostfile option, The key is misleading as it can also be a list of hosts, a directory or a list of paths . This feature will be removed in version 2.8. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what this means. Anybody know?

Deployment with Ansible from Gitlab CI, dealing with passwords
|
I'm trying to achieve an "password-free" deployment workflow using Gitlab CI and Ansible. Some steps do require a password (I'm already using SSH Keys whenever I can) so I've stored those password inside an Ansible Vault . Next, I would just need to provide the Vault password when running the playbook. But how could I integrate this nicely with Gitlab CI? May I register a gitlab-ci job (or jobs are suitable for builds only?), which just runs the playbook providing the vault password somehow?! Can this be achieved without a password laying around in plain text?! Also, I would be really happy if someone can point me some material that shows how we can deploy builds using Ansible. As you can notice, I've definitively found nothing about that.

Ansible - What's the proper syntax for loop + zip when combining more than two lists?
|
I haven't been able to find the syntax for loop + zip when combining more than 2 lists. Since Ansible 2.5, as shown here , the following syntax replaces with_together with loop + zip: - name: with_together debug: msg: "{{ item.0 }} - {{ item.1 }}" with_together: - "{{ list_one }}" - "{{ list_two }}" - name: with_together -> loop debug: msg: "{{ item.0 }} - {{ item.1 }}" loop: "{{ list_one|zip(list_two)|list }}" My question is, whereas when using with_together, you could simply append lists, and reference them with iterating numbers, I haven't been able to find the method to use with loop + zip. I have tried: loop: "{{ list_one|zip(list_two)|zip(list_three)|zip(list_four)list }}" Without success.

PgSQL - How to import database dump only when database completely empty?
|
The use-case actually to automate this with ansible . I want to import database dump only when database is completely empty (no tables inside). Of course there's always a way to execute sql statement, but this is last resort, I believe there should be more elegant solution for this. pg_restore manual doesn't provide this option as far as I see. Here's how I'm planning to do this with ansible: - name: db_restore | Receive latest DB backup shell: s3cmd --skip-existing get s3cmd ls s3://{{ aws_bucket }}/ | grep sentry | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}' sql.latest.tgz args: chdir: /root/ creates: sql.latest.tgz - name: db_restore | Check if file exists stat: path=/root/sql.latest.tgz register: sql_latest - name: db_restore | Restore latest DB backup if backup file found shell: PGPASSWORD={{ dbpassword }} tar -xzOf /root/sentry*.tgz db.sql | psql -U{{ dbuser }} -h{{ pgsql_server }} --set ON_ERROR_STOP=on {{ dbname }} when: sql_latest.stat.exists ignore_errors: True Ideally this should check if DB empty. No ansible module exist for this purpose. Google is also in silence.. Current solution actually also works, this will give error when import will fail, and I can just ignore error, but it's a bit painful to see a false alarm.

Ansible: Check if service is listening on a specific port
|
How would you go about using Ansible to confirm whether a service is running on a specific port? For example: Is Apache running on port 80? Is MySQL listening on port 3912? Is Tomcat listening on port 8080? I understand that there are the service and wait_for commands, which individually check if a service is running and if a port is in use - but I've not found anything so far to check if a particular service is listening on a particular port. service and wait_for will indicate there's a service and a port, but there's no guarantee that the port is taken by that particular service - it could be taken by anything. wait_for , as I understand it, simply checks if it's being used. There is a regex_search parameter on wait_for which mentions searching in a socket connection for a particular string, but as I understand it this is simply reading any information that comes down that socket rather than having any access to what is sending that information. How can we go about this?

Ansible: Use variable for defining playbook hosts
|
I have the following version installed: ansible 2.3.0 (devel 2131eaba0c) I want to specify my host variable as external variable and then use it in the playbook similar to this: hosts: "{{integration}}" In my group_vars/all file I have the following defined variable: integration: "int60" The host file looks like this: [int60] hostA [int61] hostB Unfortunately this does not work. I also tried to define the host var in the following way: [integration] 127.0.0.1 ansible_host="{{ integration_env }}" and have the integration_env specified in my group_vars/all file. In this case it seemed like it ran the tasks locally and not in the desired environment. Is it possible to do something like this? I'd be open to whole new ways of doing this. The main goal is simply to define the host variable in a var file.

I have a management system where we define maintenance data to control virtual environment, and one of the options is VM shutdown timeframe for different teams. Now when new VM is created user should select from the available list of timeframes when his/her VM can be shut down without interruption to work shift. I need to be able to sync this list of timeframes from my database to job template survey. I'm stuck in modifying the JSON survey. I've tried this post best way to modify json in ansible but getting an error: "exception": " File \"/tmp/ansible_1qa8eR/ansible_module_json_modify.py\", line 38, in main\n res = jsonpointer.resolve_pointer(data, pointer)\n File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsonpointer.py\", line 126, in resolve_pointer\n return pointer.resolve(doc, default)\n File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsonpointer.py\", line 204, in resolve\n doc = self.walk(doc, part)\n File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsonpointer.py\", line 279, in walk\n raise JsonPointerException(\"member '%s' not found in %s\" % (part, doc))\n", "msg": "member 'spec' not found in {'stderr_lines': [], 'changed': True, 'end' Here is my JSON that I'm trying to modify: { "spec": [ { "question_description": "", "min": 0, "default": "Test text", "max": 4096, "required": true, "choices": "", "variable": "_t", "question_name": "Note", "type": "textarea" }, { "required": true, "min": null, "default": "", "max": null, "question_description": "appliance id", "choices": "Unconfigured\n600,qvmProcessor/applianceexemptions,all", "new_question": true, "variable": "appid", "question_name": "Appliance ID", "type": "multiplechoice" }, { "required": true, "min": null, "default": "", "max": null, "question_description": "Select version", "choices": "1.2.3\n1.2.4\n1.2.5", "new_question": true, "variable": "version", "question_name": "App Version", "type": "multiplechoice" }, { "required": true, "min": 0, "default": "", "max": 1024, "question_description": "", "choices": "", "new_question": true, "variable": "newVMIP", "question_name": "IP for new VM", "type": "text" }, { "required": true, "min": 0, "default": "", "max": 1024, "question_description": "", "choices": "", "new_question": true, "variable": "requesterEmail", "question_name": "Requester's email", "type": "text" }, { "required": true, "min": null, "default": "", "max": null, "question_description": "Select the timeframe for automatic VM shutdown. ***NOTE*** EST Time is in 24 hour format", "choices": "23:00-02:00\n02:00-04:00\n04:00-06:00\n00:00-02:00", "new_question": true, "variable": "powerOFF_TimeFrame", "question_name": "Power OFF window", "type": "multiplechoice" }, { "required": true, "min": 0, "default": 5, "max": 30, "question_description": "The VM will be deleted after # of days specified (default=5).", "choices": "", "new_question": true, "variable": "vmNumReservedDays", "question_name": "Keep VM for # of days", "type": "integer" } ], "description": "", "name": "" } I have to update timeframes (the one before last) choices: "choices": "23:00-02:00\n02:00-04:00\n04:00-06:00\n00:00-02:00", Here is my code.

Suppress Ansible Ad Hoc Warning
|
I have a python script that takes advantage of an Ansible ad hoc command to get host information quickly. I'd like to suppress the warning when I'm attempting to gather information about a host that is in a different VPC, but shows in the following command used to find all instances: aws ec2 describe-instances Below is the python snippet I'm using to make and generate the ansible ad hoc command: command_string = "ansible -i /repo/ansible/inventory/"+env+"/hosts " + name + " -m shell -a 'df -h'" result = subprocess.Popen(command_string, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read() I understand that in a playbook setting for the shell module: warn=no will disable warnings, but I can't seem to figure out how to do so via adhoc, see below test: [root@box-1b 10.0.5.xxx:~] ansible -i /repo/ansible/inventory/nqa/hosts 10.19.1.17 -m shell -a 'warn=no' [WARNING]: No hosts matched, nothing to do [root@box-1b 10.0.5.xxx:~] ansible -i /repo/ansible/inventory/nqa/hosts 10.19.1.17 -m shell -a 'warn=false' [WARNING]: No hosts matched, nothing to do The output of my full script looks similar to the following: i-xxxxxx my-super-cool-box t2.small True 10.0.0.10 vol-xxxxxxx 100 i-xxxxxxx /dev/xvdf [WARNING]: No hosts matched, nothing to do [WARNING]: No hosts matched, nothing to do [WARNING]: No hosts matched, nothing to do The information printed about the specific instance is correct, and all I'm looking for is a way to suppress that warning without changing the global ansible configurations.

Ansible Install MySql 5.7 - Set Root User Password

How to add apt key with --recv-keys instead of --recv?

I want to install facebook osquery with ansible. The instructions for ubuntu are as follows: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C9D8B80B ... Unfortunately setting the id to C9D8B80B doesn't work. In tasks: - name: Add repository key apt_key: keyserver=keyserver.ubuntu.com id=C9D8B80B state=present The command fails: TASK: [osquery | Add repository key] ****************************************** failed: [x.x.x.x] => {"cmd": "apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C9D8B80B", "failed": true, "rc": 2} The difference is --recv C9D8B80B vs --recv-keys C9D8B80B . Which ansible apt_key option corresponds to --recv-keys ?

Ansible windows client or host with Ansible linux server? Possible?
|
I am using Ansible for some infrastructure management problem for my project. I achieved this task using a Linux client like say to copy a bin file from Ansible server and install it on a client machine. This involves tasks in my playbooks using normal Linux commands like ssh, scp, ./bin etc., Now I want to achieve the same in a windows client. I couldn't find any good documentation to try it out. If anyone of you have tried using Ansible with Windows client then it would be great if you could share the procedures or prototype or any piece of information to start with and progress further on my problem.

Ansible: Unexpected templating type error: expected string or buffer
|
I have a register with the following contents: ok: [hostname] => { "changed": false, "msg": { "changed": true, "cmd": "cd /tmp\n ./status.sh dev", "delta": "0:00:00.023660", "end": "2018-11-28 17:46:05.838934", "rc": 0, "start": "2018-11-28 17:46:05.815274", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "application is not running. no pid file found", "stdout_lines": [ "application is not running. no pid file found" ] } } When i see the substring "not" in the register's stdout, i want to trigger another task: - name: Starting Application As Requested shell: /tmp/start.sh when: operation_status.stdout | search('not') However, i see this error in my triggered task fatal: [host]: FAILED! => { "failed": true, "msg": "The conditional check 'operation_status.stdout | search('not')' failed. The error was: Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({% if operation_status.stdout | search('not') %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}): expected string or buffer\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/path/to/ansible_playbook.yml': line 46, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Starting Application As Requested\n ^ here\n" I only see this error when adding the when condition. Without it, my playbook succeeds. What am i doing wrong here? Version details: ansible 2.3.0.0 python version = 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Aug 9 2016, 06:11:56) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17)]

How to set FQDN with ansible?

It seems the recommended method doesn't work well to me: - name: Set hostname hostname: name=mx.mydomain.net After rebooting, you can see I have problems with fqdn, nothing in /etc/hosts . root@mx:~# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 mail mail # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters root@mx:~# cat /etc/hostname mx.mydomain.net root@mx:~# hostname mx.mydomain.net root@mx:~# hostname -f hostname: Name or service not known
