[ansible-project] transforming data from the inventory into role parameters

Hi, When writing roles, Itry and keep them re-usable. This means avoiding making them dependent on any arrangement of vars in my inventory and playbooks. The problem I keep bumping into then is that ansible / jinja2 havelimited means of transforming,for example, a list of server descriptionhashe

[ansible-project] Ask for variable value if variable not defined.

Hi, Have question whether is possible (ansible 1.4.2 >) setup prompt for volue for variable in variable is not defined. For example: First run of playbook: - variable is not defined - ask for value - task write value of variable to some ansible vars file ... Do other tasks... Next run of playb

Re: [ansible-project] Ask for variable value if variable not defined.

There's no mechanism for this. vars_prompt always prompts for the variable. On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 9:25 AM, Marcin Prączko wrote: > Hi, > > Have question whether is possible (ansible 1.4.2 >) setup prompt for volue > for variable in variable is not defined. > > For example: > First run of pl

[ansible-project] How to use array of hash in yml?

I know we can use array in yml, e.g. web_servers: - "server.1=host1" - "server.2=host2" - "server.3=host3" However, will it be possible to use array of hash/dictionary? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscribe

Re: [ansible-project] How to use array of hash in yml?

yes, yaml lets you use any combo of hash/dictionary with list/array that you can come up with. webservers: - 1: host1 - 2: host2 - 3: host3 webservers is a list and each element is a hash with single key value. -- Brian Coca Stultorum infinitus est numerus 01110111001001100101011011

Re: [ansible-project] Not detecting whether variable for 'user' is setup.

[ansible-project] different groups with different variables using the same role in the same host

Hello, I think I have got to a point where I really get confused about teh way variables are used. I need some clarity to understand how you would do this with ansible: Lets say I have one single hosts where I want to create a collection of directories in /data/db/{project1,project2,n} I am u

[ansible-project] ansible_ssh_user and delegate_to unexpected behavior

Hello, I noticed that an ansible_ssh_user defined in the inventory for a host or group is used* also when delegating to a host that does not have it set*. This seems counterintuitive to me and makes it difficult to delegate tasks to a host that requires a different user. I wonder if this is by

Re: [ansible-project] Ask for variable value if variable not defined.

The following is pseudo code, parts of it may not be entirely correct. But the real trick is to use when. == - name: ask for variable when: my_var_name is not defined register: my_var_name_result vars_prompt: . - name: save vars when: my_var_name_result.changed $action: == O

It's remote_user, which I think changed in 1.4. I just remember seeing that in the docs yesterday. On 01/28/2014 10:54 AM, Marcin Prączko wrote: Hi, Accually I think is still not working as expected: [vagrant@devopsadmin dir01]$ ansible --version ansible 1.4.3 Playbook: - name: Common | Ping

Re: [ansible-project] different groups with different variables using the same role in the same host

Hi Guillem. This looks like a modeling problem: the project variables need to be detached from the host/group variables. Try something like: # group_vars/all.yml --- project: test1: domain: test1.com #... other vars for project test1 test2: domain: test2.com # ...

Re: [ansible-project] transforming data from the inventory into role parameters

Had a quick look at the source code for the map filter, and I believe it will descend to lower levels and the result is an arbitrary list, so I think this would work. However, this is of no use if your control node is running a stable OS :-) The only other approach I can think of is to split out

Re: [ansible-project] dependency modeling

Thanks.. But I am still curious.. is there a way to list all the roles a node is taking when running a task? I can potentially add a line in a common config file for each role. But this won't remove a role from that file if I update the playbook or role dependency such that a node is no longer

Hey all, as Michael noted we're moving all of the domains to ansible.com, which now includes Galaxy too - https://galaxy.ansible.com. If you use the old URL, you should be redirected. As part of this move, we consolidated/reorganized some of the various Oauth accounts we were using, which required
