I was wondering if there was a best practice for managing ansible-pull
repos, specifically if there is a way to dynamically pass roles to an
ansible-pull run. We have an external inventory system that can return
roles assigned to a host. As in most environments, a host can belong to
multiple roles, but it seems too messy to create single branches for each
role to be checked out. I should be able to pull down a master branch with
all roles intact, and allow the local.yml dictate which roles should be
applied to the localhost.
# Directory example
local.yml
roles
\-common
\- tasks,handlers, etc
|-python
\- tasks,handlers, etc
|-database
\- tasks,handlers, etc
# local.yml
---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
sudo: yes
roles:
- common
- python
- database
I previously found that trying to pass a list it to roles via command line
or in the local.yml, doesnt work as it seems looping isnt supported for the
roles stanza, only under tasks, and trying to pass --extra-vars from the
command line to the local.yml file to roles is ignored.
Anyone else doing something similar to this in their environments? We are
trying to work with a master-less setup, but seems like its more of a
challenge than using traditional playbooks.
Thanks.
