[ansible-project] Re: Ansible stdout_lines writes as list syntax [u'text1',u'text2'] instead of multiline?

[burns498]

Hello Jon - Thanks for the help!

The change you suggested did help clean it up a bit. It changed it from a 
list output to one line string separated by literal '\n'. Something like 
"2a3\n> echo hi". This was a step in the right direction.

I did some more digging around and found an answer using Jinja2 whitespace 
control . 
Uses a for loop to parse the list output via jinja2 filters.
*Updated Code Snippet:*
- name: Log diff changes
  blockinfile:
dest: "{{ log_dir }}/{{ pb_diff_logname }}"
content: |
  {{ app_log_header }}
  Command: 'diff {{ deployed_copy_output.dest }} {{ 
deployed_copy_output.backup_file }}'
  {% for item in diff_output.stdout_lines %}
  {{ item }}
  {% endfor %}
  {{ app_log_footer }}
create: yes
insertafter: EOF
marker: "{{ app_log_marker }}"

The output is then quite clean in the log file.

Re: [ansible-project] Iterate through user input data

Im a newbie to ansible, and im trying to write an ansible script which

so how do i go about this?


It's not possible with Ansible, Ansible have prompts
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_prompts.html
But this is question you will have to ask and answer upfront before 
playbook the rest of the playbook get executed.

Re: [ansible-project] How to use ignore_errors with include statement ?

In your subject you have one thing, but in the mail you are talking 
about undefined variables, and in the example you av including a file 
that doesn't exist.




I want ansible to ignore this error. I use "ignore_errors: yes" but it
fails anyways.


ignore_errors only work on task that return a exit code, include is just 
a directive to include tasks.
Ignore_error will be applied to every task in the include file, but it 
will not work on include when you are including a file that doesn't exist.

[ansible-project] Automatically connecting as different user on later runs after 'root' is disabled

[Greg Bell]

Hi,

One of my tasks disables root over ssh.
Another creates an 'app' user that has sudo powers.

That means that the way to connect to the host changes after the first run.

Is there a smarter way to easily adjust to this new state than manually 
adding --become and --user command-line options to ansible-playbook on 
subsequent runs?

[ansible-project] Re: Delegate with template with source file on remote

[Mehdi B]

After checking the archive:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-project/HqCymjQoVjc

Seem the point here as we need jinja2 on remote server too and python. So 
best is festching it once using 

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/fetch_module.html

Then pushing back the file.

If anyone have better idea you are welcome.

[ansible-project] Delegate with template with source file on remote

[Mehdi B]

Hi,

I have a project where I wanted to use templates but instead of having them 
on ansible server, I wanted to use a remote file and deploy it.

Why? As I'm cloning site project on remote front servers, and the template 
is in the project so dev's could update it. 

So I have server 1 ( ansible controller )

Server 2 ( target ) with template.php.dist file on /home

I created a role with main task:


  - name: Create conf config/template.php
template: >
 src="/home/template.php.dist"
 dest="/home/licom.php"
delegate_to: "{{ item }}"
with_items:
 - "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

So I delegate the task to execute on server 2 here but seem that the 
template will always check for server 1 as source. Is there a way to 
changer the source server? So I won't need to clone the entire project on 
server 1?

Thanks
Mehdi B

[ansible-project] Install package for point release

[Kevin Csuka]

Actual package name in the repo is package-2.6.12-3.el7.x86_64.

The goal is to install a package with Ansible, to:

   - * Ensure the point release is installed, such as package-2.2
   - * Doesn't install major releases, such as package-3.0
   - * Updates for minor releases, such as package-2.6.13-4

The repo can update packages from time to time, but I don't know when.

My thought was to install a package like this;

- name: Install package
  yum:
name: package-2.6
state: present

But the task fails, because package-2.6 is not in the repo. Whereas simply 
package works, but it not future proof.

How do I achieve this?
