I am having trouble figuring out how to dynamically add a provisioned host
to inventory hosts.
Structure:
- Inventory
- provisioning
- group_vars
all.yml
hosts
- Playbooks
- roles
- vars
main.yml
- deployment
- tasks
main.yml
- provision
- tasks
main.yml
deploy.yml
all.yml contains variables to used in roles
hosts just contains a empty [windows] group
roles main.yml just contain a lot tasks
vars main.yml contains variables for the provision role
deploy.yml looks like this:
---
- name: Enter variables
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars_prompt:
- name: "vsphere_username"
prompt: "Enter vSphere Username"
private: no
- name: "vsphere_password"
prompt: "Enter vSphere Password"
- name: "vm_hostname"
prompt: "Enter Virtual Machine Hostname"
private: no
- name: "vsphere_template"
prompt: "Which application do you want to deploy?\n1- Windows
Server 2012R2\n2- Windows Server 2016\n"
private: no
- name: "java_selection"
prompt: "Which Java version do you want to deploy?\n1- JDK1.6\n2-
JDK1.7\n3- JDK1.8\n"
private: no
- name: "tomcat_selection"
prompt: "Which Tomcat version do you want to deploy?\n1- Tomcat
7.0\n2- Tomcat 8.5\n3- Tomcat 9.0\n"
private: no
- name: "Adding virtual machine hostname to inventory"
add_host:
name: "{{ vm_hostname }}"
group:
- windows
- name: Deploy Virtual Machine
roles:
- role: provision
vsphere_username: vsphere_username
vsphere_password: vsphere_password
vm_hostname: vm_hostname
vsphere_template: vsphere_template
Add_host does not recognize the variable vm_hostname
It seems that the variables coming from prompt are not known later in the
play?
I might have to rethink the whole process but I cant find any useful
examples so I'm stuck :-/
