[ansible-project] include another role's variables without running it's tasks?

I often need to access the default variables of another role. Currently I'm doing this via role dependencies, and passing a special variable to skip running a roles tasks. E.g. ``` :: my_role/meta/main.yml :: dependencies: - { role: other_role, skip_tasks: True } :: other_role/tasks/tasks.y

Re: [ansible-project] Jinja2 converting double quotes to single quotes

RobL, Can you use ansible's regex_replace jinja filter in test.j2 to turn surrounding single quotes to double quotes? e.g. regex_replace('^[\'"]?(.*)[\'"]?$','"\\1"') ``` { "keepDoubleQuotes": {{ keepDoubleQuotes | regex_replace('^[\'"]?(.*)[\'"]?$','"\\1"') }}, "loseDoubleQuotes":

Re: [ansible-project] Problem with includes in templates

FWIW jinja2/template includes are working for me in 1.5 with a few notes; + context is automatically inherited, no need to pass with context + {% include filename %} only accepts relative paths for filename. eg. - {% include "inc/filename.j2" %} works, - {% include "/etc/ansible/templ

[ansible-project] Re: Special shell for special users on special host %)

Petr, I'll augment your example with this behavior. Since you're adding "user 1" by it's own when matching all hosts; it kind of takes care of the requirement to avoid changing user 1's shell. See below; == hosts file= [group1] serv1 [group2] serv2 serv3 ===

[ansible-project] Re: Is it possible build a file in local by using template module?

Absolutely. I use this technique to help combat the deprecation of include + with_items. Something like: ``` - name: normalize apache_sites_list into variable file local_action: template dest={{ apache_sites_var_file }} src="apache_sites_normalized.j2" - name: load normalized `apache_sites_

[ansible-project] using with_first_found in a with_items loop?

[ansible-project] FWIW; ansible-pcd ( prepare, configure, deploy ) framework

I'd like to share the way I organize ansible to manage infrastructure with the community. I tend to think of infrastructure as partitioned into "systems", "services", and "applications"... and automation as "preparation", "configuration", and "deployment". This approach reduces execution times
