Hi All
First off, I LOVE ansible, its awesome! Really didn't like puppet when I
tried it.
Just wanted to share a nice pattern I found for making it easy to run only
part of a playbook, without having to remember which tags to use with the
--tags option. (apologies if something similar has been posted before!)
With the below code at the top of the playbook, when you run it with
ansible-playbook, you are first presented with an options menu asking you
what you want to do :)
- name: My awesome playbook with options menu :)
vars_prompt:
update_option: |
This playbook updates LIVE SYSTEMS. Use with caution!
Please enter one of the following options to perform the update:
app_update - check / update application software only
nginx - check / update nginx configuration
backup - check / update backup configuration
all - check / update all items
Or press CTRL+C to Cancel!
roles:
- { role: my_app_role, when: "update_option in
['app_update', 'all']" }
- { role: my_app_other_role, when: "update_option in
['app_update', 'all']" }
- { role: nginx, when: "update_option in ['nginx',
'all']" }
- { role: app_backup, when: "update_option in ['backup',
'all']" }
Cheers all!
