[ansible-project] Help on using the wen condition

[Daniel Nanboe]

I have a list of users defined as variable on my inventory.

I want to create a task that checks if for each user exists a file in a 
folder if it exists will run a task if not will run an other task. I have a 
task that add the user with password if password exists and no ssh key is 
found and another that adds the user with both password and key.


This one checks if there is an ssh key defined for the client:

- name: Add sftp users
  block:
- name: Check if diapason folder exists
  stat:
path: "SYMPHONY_HOME + '/config/ssh_keys/clients/keys/{{ 
item.ssh_key }}.pub"
  register: sshkey_status
  with_items: "{{ sftp_users }}"

And then I want to use the info in a conditional

- name: Add sftp users with ssh key
  user:
name: "{{ item.remote_user }}"
state: "{{ item.state | default('present') }}"
shell: /usr/bin/false
skeleton: yes
group: "{{ item.remote_user }}"
groups:
  - sftpgroup
  with_items: "{{ sftp_users }}"
  when: (item.state != "absent") and (sshkey_status.stat.exists == 
true)

The problem is that sshkey_status is a variable with a list for each user 
from the user list and I cannot use it like that. I have te required info 
there but not sure how to get to it in the when statement.

Can somebody point me towards a working direction.

Re: [ansible-project] Encrypted Password in Playbook

[Srinivas Naram]

Ok, I found the solution myself. Group or host variables should have
different directory. There is no need of explicit mention such as  in the playbook, but create a directory called group_vars or
host_vars in the directory where the playbook is placed.

these directories will have files with variables you want to define. File
structure should be in yml format.

 Below is a step-by-step scenario:

 1) Let's assume the vault password has bee configured properly (you
 have set
 the 'vault_password_file' in ansible.cfg) . Let's use global variable
 here.
 For example

   $ set | grep VAULT
   ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=/home/admin/.vault_pass.txt

 See "Providing Vault Passwords"

 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#providing-vault-passwords

 2) Create a file foo.yml with variable(s). Encrypt the file. See the
 content.

   $ cat foo.yml
   test_var1: secret
   $ ansible-vault encrypt foo.yml
   $ cat foo.yml
   $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256

 3933376636373537313366326361306331333132626337343335343465353439623366373338

 6438306562323262363965653336653362616136366439620a326533316463346437373066333433

 3035333662373330376261363963613833366631386531633064323733313936663831393731

 3036633964323235310a613766346633613765643832306539346137613731663865636564636164

   $ ansible-vault view foo.yml
   test_var1: secret1

 See "Encrypting Unencrypted Files"

 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#encrypting-unencrypted-files

 3) Create inventory (fit the groups and hosts to your needs)

   $ cat hosts
   [test]
   test_01

 4) Put the encrypted file into the directory host_vars (fit the host to
 your
 needs)

   $ mkdir -p host_vars/test_01
   $ mv foo.yml host_vars/test_01/

 5) Create and run playbook. See the variable was successfully decrypted.

   $ cat test.yml
   - hosts: test_01
 tasks:
 - debug:
 var: test_var1
   $ ansible-playbook test1.yml
   ok: [test_01] => { "test_var1": "secret1" }

 There are many variations how-to handle vault variables. If you have
 troubles
 report minimal, complete, reproducible example.

[ansible-project] Re: can someone please explain about "undefined" error

['Eric Hymowitz' via Ansible Project]

At the risk of being rude, I'm not sure what you don't understand.

You're querying a hash variable update_count , and looking for the member 
named reboot_required .  Where did you define this variable?  If you don't 
define a variable, then the variable is undefined.

Is there more to this playbook that you didn't provide?

Re: [ansible-project] Re: can someone please explain about "undefined" error

[Karl Auer]

To expand on what Eric said:

Your when: condition refers to a variable called "update_count".

At the point where you refer to it, that variable does not exist. I bolded
the bits of the error message that really matter:

TASK [reboot if required] **

**
task path: /etc/ansible/windows-playbook/copied.yml:22
*fatal*: [EC2AMAZ-9M186EG.corp.medqia.com]: FAILED! => {
"msg": "The conditional check 'update_count.reboot_required' failed.
The error was: error while evaluating conditional
(update_count.reboot_required): *'update_count' is undefined*\n\n.\n\nThe
offending line appears to be:\n\n  tasks:\n   - name: reboot if required\n
   ^ here\n"
}

Common reasons for this error include:
- you misspelled it
- you got the CaPiTaLiSaTiOn wrong
- you defined it after first reference
- you defined it for a host other than EC2AMAZ-9M186EG.corp.medqia.com
- you defined it in a vars file that is not being loaded
- you defined it in a vars file that is not being referenced
- you defined it somewhere where it cannot be referenced
- you rearranged your code and accidentally moved the definition to after
the first reference
- update_count is a field or element of something bigger you forgot to
reference first
- you didn't define it at all

If you'd like more help, post the ENTIRE playbook here (or make it
available in e.g. pastebin). Don't post anything confidential though.

Please post code in a fixed-width font so we can see the indentation.

Regards, K.

[ansible-project] Re: Need Help in Ansible regex

[Cyril Stoll]

Hi

Not quite sure what you are trying to do with the slash ("/") symbol in 
your regex. If you want to use it to escape the dot (".") sign then you 
need to use a backslash ("\") instead of a slash and you need to put it 
before the dot not after it.

So try this: dp-steps-common-[0-9\.]+[0-9\.]+[0-9][0-9\.]rpm$

Also there is a quite handy webpage that helps you test your regex. Just 
visit regex101.com and type your regex in the small field on top and the 
string you want to capture with your regex in the large field below. Then 
you can play around with your regex and the webpage will tell you which 
part of your regex captured which part of the string.

Best,
Cyril

[ansible-project] Re: I have Ansible and Jenkins installed on Different Servers how can i configure both

['J Hawkesworth' via Ansible Project]

You can use the not-particularly-helpfully-named 'Publish Over SSH' Jenkins 
plugin https://plugins.jenkins.io/publish-over-ssh which lets you run 
arbitrary commands as well as transferring files.

If your playbooks run for more than 2 minutes you will need to configure 
the 'Exec timeout (ms)' setting ( I found I had to do this in the common 
jenkins configuration and individually on each Jenkins job).

Hope this helps,

Jon

[ansible-project] Unable to connect to Windows 2016 over HTTPS using self signed certificates; using ansible securely in a mixed active directory environment

[Dan Hebert]

 

Good afternoon,

 

I have been trying to get ansible working over a Windows 2016 HTTPS 
listener with encryption using TLS encryption and self-signed certificate 
authentication. 

User authentication over HTTP is not going to be sufficient. The 
environment where I work is a mix of nodes where some use active directory. 

 

Here is the matrix for authentication:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_winrm.html 

 

Given this matrix, I expected that I would have been able to authenticate 
with a local account that is part of the administrators group using 
certificates. I followed this process, taken from the Windows ansible 
guides:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_winrm.html

Is 'yum' a group name perhaps?

Re: [ansible-project] Hostvars giving me undefined error

[Jean-Yves LENHOF]

Hi,

You should better use the find module instead of shell module and ls.

As said, yum seem to be a group... To use hostvars special variable you 
need to use host and not group...


Something like this will work :

msg: "{{ hostvars['YUM01']['some_value'] }}"


But instead of asking to remove your error, perhaps you could explain 
what you want to do...


Regards,

JYL

[ansible-project] How to skip the playbook based on a condition

[Anand Solomon]

Hi,
I basically wanted to skip the remaining of the playbook if a file exists


- name: Check if the file exists
  stat:
path: /home/ansible/dbname/sql/file.sql
  register: optional_file

- debug:
msg: "File Exists"
  when: optional_file.stat.exists == True

Also, Is there a way I read the same file, and based on a string I stop the 
remaining playbook?

[ansible-project] Run excel VB or Macro?

[John Harmon]

I am trying to automate a process.  Is it possible, natively in Ansible, to 
run an Excel Macro, or Visual Basic code against an .csv?

Thanks in advance.

[ansible-project] What is the best approach to creating a inlude_vars file for my requirement

[Shifa Shaikh]

I use the stat module to read multiple files statistics from each remote 
server. 

Thus, I'm able to get the file mode and checksum value of say 3 files on 
host1 and 2 files on host2.

I wish to know what is a good way to create/construct an include_vars file 
so that I can easily read back each file's mode and checksum for any given 
server?

I thought of constructing a myvars.yaml as below:

---
host1:
   name: /tmp/conf/httpd.conf
   checksum: 79783482382789273
   mode: 0744
   name: /tmp/conf/extra/httpd.conf
   checksum: 112312382789273
   mode: 0754



host2:

   name: /tmp/conf/httpd.conf
   checksum: 89662ff9273
   mode: 0774
   name: /tmp/conf/extra/httpd.conf
   checksum: 82094810498
   mode: 0754


I can construct the myvars.yaml as I like but the challenge is how can I 
read the values of the individual file name on a given hots?

Any suggestions for construct myvars.yaml differently and reading 
individual file details in a playbook will be of great help. 

Thank you !!

In the first part, item will always be defined or the task won't run at all, so 
no need to test it.

In the second part, you're comparing two static strings here that will never 
match. You probably meant to do something like

when: item is regex('your regex')

See for examples: 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_tests.html#testing-strings
