[ansible-project] Re: How to persist variables/facts in ansible?

Hello, You can use hostvars[hostname] to get facts set by other hosts. play_hosts array is also useful. The following playbook collects root's SSH public keys from all hosts, then distributes keys back to all hosts. --- - hosts: all sudo: yes gather_facts: no vars: pubkeys: |

Hello: I've been using the 'pkgutil' extras module to install packages on some Solaris machines. Roles I've been working with that use the module will fail if '/opt/csw/bin' is not in the servers' PATH environment variable. It's easy enough to work around by doing something like this in roles th

[ansible-project] Use Custom Modules with Many Playbooks

We're exploring a somewhat different use case for Ansible and I'm trying to figure out if there's an existing feature for module management that I'm missing. Our use case would require several custom modules being used by many people in many different environments. Is there a good way to share

[ansible-project] How do I handle different machines needing different user accounts?

Hi, Can't find an answer to this. The Ansible documents talk about "How do I handle different machines needing different user accounts or ports to log in with?", and other things, but I can't see how to address what we're trying to do from the information and zillions of searches I've done o

[ansible-project] Ansible 1.9.4 rc1 is now available for testing

Hi all, we've just tagged the rc1 release for 1.9.4. Unfortunately a bug was identified in the yum module after the release of 1.9.3, which impacts enough users that we'll be doing this release sooner rather than later. To test from source, simply clone the git repository (if you haven't already)

Re: [ansible-project] [ansible-devel] Re: Ansible 2.0.0 alpha is ready for testing!

Yes, we decided to stick with the block/rescue/always syntax so as not to confuse things, and it does make things a bit easier internally to python to not use reserved keywords for variable names. James Cammarata Director, Ansible Core Engineering github: jimi-c On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 7:57 AM, A

[ansible-project] Question about how template lookups work

Hi everyone, Apologies for the long post. I'm trying to run a playbook that does a lookup on a template to populate a variable. This variable is then passed into a role that the playbook is using. The results that I'm getting, however, were not quite what I thought they would be. For context, I

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Ansible 2.0 os_server 404 image not found

Sorry for your troubles. The problem is almost certianly in the v1/v2 version detection. I think we can do better for you here. However, in the mean time - would you mind trying something to test a hypothesis? Make a ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml with: clouds: metacloud: auth: use

Ok thanks, I think I will need to pass it through from the playbook, the issue is that on a flat deployment where every group has the same host, when I use group_names I get all possible groups, not the one currently being handled. This meant that I ended up with a duplicate list of about 12 h

i see.. so the only way to solve it is by creating a new group like "stage_or_production" and then filter by "app:&stage_or_production"? my suggestion for implementing logical groups: hosts: - app:&stage - app:&production meaning (app AND stage) OR (app AND production) On Friday, August 21

[ansible-project] Re: win_updates not working

Many thanks. I'll set up the logPath parameter, and post my findings early next week. I'm hopeful about the module's use. I, like many others, work in a heterogeneous (Win/Linux) environment, so having Ansible work well with both OSs would be a great thing. Dimitri On Wednesday, September 2

[ansible-project] Re: win_updates not working

I think the problem relates to the PsWindowsUpdate module that Ansible uses. I haven't played much with it, but it may have some bugs. According to the code in the ansible module, it should never reboot without warning, but instead report back to Ansible wether a reboot is required or not (and

Re: [ansible-project] expect module does not work with multiple prompts

I believe the problem is that pexpect treats all matches as regex. You have specified '#?' which means the # is optional, effectively making the regex an empty string. An empty string matches anything, so pexpect will send the response for '#?' for everything. You probably want: responses:
