Re: [ansible-project] opposite of --limit (to exclude hosts)
limit will ONLY create a subset of hosts, it will never ADD to the list of hosts to consider. What you need is to expand your inventory, which you can do with additional -i entries: ansible-playbook myplay,yml -i hosts.yml -i 10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3, This adds 2 hosts to the inventory, but only to the 'all' and 'ungrouped' groups, you would need a custom inventory plugin to add them to specific groups. -- -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Re: [ansible-project] opposite of --limit (to exclude hosts)
thanks I can make it work with inline --limit '!specific_server' but could not figure out the right syntax for adresseing a list 'ansible all --limit "@limit.file" -m ping' is waht I am doing tried several ways for adding the '!' to the above but could not make it work yet > On 04/27/2023 10:59 AM CEST 'Felix Fontein' via Ansible Project > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > ist there anything like a negation of --limit (to not execute a > > playbook on the named remotes) ? > > you can use `!` for that in the `--limit` expression: > > `ansible-playbook --limit 'servers,!specific_server,!specific_group ...` > > That will use all servers from the group `servers`, except > `specific_server`, and all servers in `specific_group`. > > (You can also leave away `servers` to run the playbook on all hosts it > wants to run on, except the ones excluded with `!`.) > > Cheers, > Felix > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ansible Project" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to ansible-project+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/20230427105954.1e062727%40rovaniemi. --- gunnar wagner | fichtestr. 1, 19386 lübz | fon: 0176 7808 9090 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Re: [ansible-project] opposite of --limit (to exclude hosts)
Hi, > ist there anything like a negation of --limit (to not execute a > playbook on the named remotes) ? you can use `!` for that in the `--limit` expression: `ansible-playbook --limit 'servers,!specific_server,!specific_group ...` That will use all servers from the group `servers`, except `specific_server`, and all servers in `specific_group`. (You can also leave away `servers` to run the playbook on all hosts it wants to run on, except the ones excluded with `!`.)
