I am trying to figure out the structure for how I am going to use Ansible and am having some design issues.
I would like to have multiple playbooks in my roles, each with a subset of tasks I need to be done. E.g. - a playbook for System Updates, a playbook for deploying our app, a playbook for building a system. Right now, I have playbooks in place with conditional includes in each roles main.yml file. In my books/ directory I have my playbook for each role, and here is an example of the whole series of playbooks: *// books/dev.yml* --- - hosts: dev serial: 1 roles: - common-dev *// roles/common-dev/tasks/main.yml* --- - include: build.yml when: pbook == "build" - include: update.yml when: pbook == "update" *// roles/common-dev/tasks/update.yml* --- - name: "Update Kernel" yum: name=kernel* state=latest register: kernup sudo: yes - name: "Update glibc" yum: name=glibc* state=latest register: glibcup sudo: yes - name: "Update everything else" yum: name=* state=latest sudo: yes - name: "Rebooting Server" command: /sbin/reboot when: kernup|changed or glibcup|changed sudo: yes So, when I run ansible-playbook, I include --extra-vars="pbook=update", for example. It works great, but I get 'skipping' for every task out of the build.yml playbook. I would really like to suppress this, if at all possible. I know what the tasks are not running, but I am afraid of causing confusion as I hand off the actual running of the playbooks to other folks. Is there some better way to be handling this? I really don't want to have to build a role structure out for every grouping of tasks I want to do on a system to avoid confusion but keep it as simple as possible for the other folks running my books (e.g. just passing an extra-var rather than running an entirely different playbook with entirely different roles for each group of tasks). Any thoughts or advice would be great on how to either suppress the messages or restructure it to accomplish my goal but still be somewhat intuitive without me having to create a new role for every set of tasks I want to do (dev-update, dev-build, etc) Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
