[ansible-project] Re: add_host access host variables from in-memory group

[K Cheng]

Doesn't matter, I've used add_host and then called the group using hosts 
instead and I'll just delegate back down to the localhost to perform the 
actions I need it to instead.

[ansible-project] Execute task when: "'Key' not in object"

[Rob Wilkerson]

I have a playbook that's creating _n_ EC2 instances using exact_count. I'd 
like to tag those instances with a semi-meaningful Name value. I can get a 
list of all of my tagged instances from the ec2 module return value using 
{{ servers.tagged_instances }}, but...

I only want to apply a Name tag to those that don't already have one.

- name: Instances | Tag each instance with a name
  ec2_tag:
aws_access_key: "{{ awscli.access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ awscli.secret_key }}"
region: "{{ aws.region }}"
resource: "{{ item.1.id }}"
state: present
tags:
  Name: "{{ env_short }}-{{ 'ws%02d' | format(item.0) }}"
  with_indexed_items: webservers.tagged_instances
  when: "'Name' not in item.tags.keys()"  # Untagged instances only

I've tried several variations of the `when` stanza, but nothing's worked. 
Likewise, I haven't found any documentation with an example like this. Is 
it possible?

Re: [ansible-project] find module parse return value

[Eugene Polyanichko]

Thanks a lot for reply. You saved my day. I've been pulling my hair off for 
like 4 hours and the problem was simply in wrong "dest" value, because I 
didn't see my mistake and treated error output not the way it should be :)
with_items and item.path works of course

item would be a dictionary, I'm assuming what you want is a path:

 lineinfile: dest={{ item.path }}

[ansible-project] find module

[Eugene Polyanichko]

How one can parse find module results? Official manual 
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/find_module.html states, that value "files" 
is type of "list of dictionaries", but I find no way to have nested loops 
of different types (with_dict inside with_items).

[ansible-project] find module parse return value

[Eugene Polyanichko]

Official documentation http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/find_module.html 
states, that main return value name is files and it's "list of 
dictionaries". Does anyone know how to parse this value? I've tried all 
possible loops, but I can't figure out how to loop properly. I've read docs 
dozens of times, googled and nothing.

Basic code:

- name: Get files
 find: paths="/etc/" patterns="*"
 register: find_results

- name: Make sure line is present
  lineinfile: dest=/etc/cron.d/{{ item }} insertbefore=BOF line="123"
  with_items: find_results.files

This example doesn't work, obviously, because as far as i understand, to 
traverse "list of dictionaries" you need to have with_dict inside 
with_items, but I don't see a way to have nested loops of different types.

[ansible-project] roster: an Ansible dynamic inventory tool for Terraform projects

[george hartzell]

Hi All,

I'd like to share [roster](https://github.com/hartzell/roster).

Roster is a tool for working transforming Terraform state information
into other forms (it's original calling was as an Ansible dynamic
inventory provider).  It is intended to be "go get'able".

I'd appreciate any feedback all y'all have to offer on go issues,
Ansible issues and/or Terraform issues.  I'm particularly interested
in extending the set of Terraform providers it supports and making my
go better.

It uses terraform's routines to work with the state information, which
seems better than reverse engineering the state files themselves. But,
these routines are not mainstream, so we'll have to see what happens
going forward. More info in
[terraform issue 3405](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/3405).

It uses Go templates to generate it's output. One can dump out these
templates, e.g.:

$ ./roster dump-template /templates/dynamic-inventory

and see what it's doing. One can also supply one's own templates

$ ./roster execute-template myTemplate.txt

Roster parses state data for instances from:

- OpenStack
  - the instance name is used as the Name
  - the access_ip_v4 is used as the Address
  - host_vars and groups can be specified in the resource configuration
metadata section like so:

metadata {
ansible_groups = "foo,  bar"
ansible_host_vars = "color=red, importance=high"
}

Parsing those strings is very unsophisticated, I'm waiting for
better use cases before I get fancy.

- DigitalOcean
  - the name is used as the Name
  - the ipv4address is used as the Address
  - there is no support for groups or hostvars

- Cloudstack
  - the name is used as the Name
  - the ipaddress is used as the address
  - there is no support for groups or hostvars

- AWS
  - I have *preliminary* support for AWS instances, BUT
  - Every instance is named "moose", I can't figure out what info to use
as the Name.
  - If an instance has a public_ip, that is used as the Address, if not
and it has a private_ip then that is used.

Let me know if you find it useful.

g.

[ansible-project] Re: Task/inventory option preference

[jonas . haag]

Brian, thanks for the clarification. Do you happen to know if there's some 
way to make sure in a task that we're NOT connected with become=yes?

The reason I started this conversation is because I faced issues with 
debops/ansible-core, which expects some task to be execute without become. 
I wanted to contribute a patch there to prevent other people from hitting 
the same issue and not knowing what's going wrong. The task I'm talking 
about 
is 
https://github.com/debops/ansible-core/blob/d07d9e71e6a25656df8c4111b3f46f0edb30942c/tasks/main.yml#L19.

I thought about first using `whoami` on the remote machine to ensure we're 
not root. But you'd have to be more general than comparing with "root" 
because people might become some other user as well. This approach could 
work if there's some way in the task to read out ansible_become_user (which 
is, to some extent, the generalization of "root").
