You are complicating things with all this, think of it a lot simpler. Regarding your example you can solve #1 in two ways: 1. Don't set hosts file with a template, but using lineinfile 2. Don't change the hosts file in common role, since from the looks of it, it is not common enough On

I can see your suggestion being useful, but for now, you just have to think of roles as group of similar tasks and that is all, don't think of them as classes in an OO language. I don't see that this will change any time soon. On Friday, April 25, 2014 4:39:49 PM UTC+2, Ernest0x wrote: On

The simple solution is not not put sudo=anything in the playbook. Those users needing to run with sudo can use command line flags to turn that on... It sounds like you have two separate sets of tasks... So why not use a pair of roles? If you have split your playbooks up into individual

I like the idea of having sftp vs scp be configurable for paramiko. We don't use sftp in our infrastructure (except in a few cases), so having an scp option for paramiko would be nice. (Lots of CentOS 5.x in infrastructure, so paramiko is still desired.) Here is a custom paramiko plugin

The template module will need permissions to be able to write the template, however the template module is smart enough to not replace the file if the md5sum of the template has not changed. IIRC, in some cases of sudo usage from non-root an md5sum isn't possible and it will need to try to
