Greetings all. I'd like to tap your knowledge to see if there is a way to
tweak a playbook to 'speed things up'. I have a list of apps that always
get installed to a new server. If I do them manually, as either a single
command:
apt install sendemail libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ssleay-perl perl openssl
libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions dos2unix
samba ntfs-3g gcc make git-core neofetch net-tools curl chrony
linux-headers-$(uname -r) conky python3-pip -y
or individually
apt install app1
apt install app2
...
or as a bash script
it takes 5-7 minutes.
But if I run the install as a vars list using:
=====
---
- name: test update playbook
hosts: all
gather_facts: no
become: yes
vars:
applications:
- sendemail
- libio-socket-ssl-perl
- libnet-ssleay-perl
- perl
- openssl
- libauthen-pam-perl
- libpam-runtime
- libio-pty-perl
- apt-show-versions
- dos2unix
- samba
- ntfs-3g
- gcc
- make
- git-core
- neofetch
- net-tools
- curl
- chrony
- conky
- python3-pip
ansible_become_password: "SecReT_P@$$w0rD"
tasks:
- name: perform upgrade
ansible.builtin.apt:
upgrade: yes
update_cache: yes
- name: Remove stuff
ansible.builtin.apt:
autoremove: yes
- name: install standard stuff
apt:
name: "{{ applications }}"
=====
it takes upwards of 30 minutes in the section:
TASK [ install standard stuff ]
the rest of the playbook runs in comparable time as doing it manually, just
the install software takes a LOT longer than as a bash script or manually.
Thoughts on what I can do differently?
