[ansible-project] Showing which roles have been run on a machine

Is there a standard way to show which roles have been installed on a target machine from that machine? e.g. Ansible control machine installs Apache & MySQL on Remote1 and Nginx & MySQL on Remote2. If I SSH into Remote2, can it tell me that Ansible successfully installed Nginx & MySQL? Alterna

[ansible-project] Run playbook in --check mode from the target

Is there any way from the target machine to run it's playbook(s) in --check mode and display output on the target machine? I'm hoping for something smoother than ssh'ing to the control machine, running intended playbook(s), outputting to a file and rsync'ing it back to the target. The goal is to

[ansible-project] Need playbook values from mysql (or other external source)

I have a set of servers to migrate to new hosts. We want to keep a specific nfs mounted volume from the old host and apply the same volume with the same IP to the new host. These values are stored in mysql as well as, obviously, the old host. Currently, this is being done manually. Is there a

[ansible-project] Variables and templates between roles

I may be way off in the way I'm trying to accomplish this, but I think I need to pass variables from one role to another. I am setting up svn on a Suse server. I'm using the geerlingguy.apache and a rather modified geerlingguy.svn roles. I need the apache role available to deploy apache with v
