Re: [ansible-project] rsync failure

[John Petro]

Have you run the playbook in verbose mode to get more detail?  Maybe
there's a mis-spelling in the inventory hostname you used or something in
the inventory.

The only other idea I have is to copy/paste the msg section that starts
with "Could" into your search engine of choice and see what comes up
there.

Yes. We use TWO plays in a playbook. The first play uses an extra_var of the 
hostname to create a new host group. The second play scopes its inventory to 
that host group.

In our workflow the new machines' name comes in as an extra var called 
vm_guest_name.

Re: [ansible-project] I need to save fact into variable and use it afterwards

['Walter Rowe' via Ansible Project]

Are all the tasks inside one playbook, or are different tasks in different 
jobs in an ansible tower workflow?

Use set_fact for within-playbook, and set_stats for creating artifacts sent 
back to ansible tower to be presented as extra_vars to downstream jobs in a 
workflow.

For within-playbook:
- set_fact:
admin_host: "{{ ansible_nodename }}"

For downstream jobs in a workflow:
- set_stats:
data:
  admin_host: "{{ ansible_nodename }}"

If you need both you can do both. An artifact created with set_stats in a 
playbook cannot be used later in that same playbook as a variable. You have 
to use set_fact for that.

For loading your file within the playbook or downstream
- name: Set authorized key took from file
  become: yes
  authorized_key:
user: root
state: present
key: "{{ lookup('file', '/git/cephprep/files/*' + admin_host + 
'*/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') 
}}"

NOTE that I broke up the file path and inserted the admin_host with "+" 
which in Python (ansible runs on Python) will concatenate strings.

Subject: [ansible-project] Deploying Windows Server using Ansible Tower

Ansible Newbie Calling...

We have Ansible Tower and Satellite.

I've been asked to look at Deploying Windows Server using Ansible Tower.

I've created a win2019-tmp (template) in VMware

Now I need to look at creating a Role playbook to deploy a Windows system in 
VMware.

I've made a start on the main.yml and vars.yml files but I am not sure they 
will run on my new pipeline yet.

Is there a way to check if the pipeline is ready to test playbooks on ?

Also, since I will be deploying a Windows Server that has not been created yet, 
how can I put any info in the Ansible Tower Template Inventory area if it does 
not exist?

I hope someone can help me with Windows deployements using Ansible. I couldn't 
find a suitable Red Hat course for this.

Thanks
Nick

The listeral string "inventory hostname" is not a valid hostname. Fix that.
Also, "become_method: sudo" and "gather_facts: true" are both the same as
the defaults, so you can leave that out.

Re: [ansible-project] failed instances

Once you've solved that you will also run into another undefined variable:
_failed

my guess: Ansible detects that the host has no rsync installed, so the TASK can 
not be executed. 
So you'd you have to create a preceeding (package/yum/apt) TASK that makes sure 
rsync is installed on the hosts in order to make this work.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: unsupported parameter for ios_l2_interfaces

[Sagar Paul]

Hi Hossein,

Thanks for sharing the details.
You may use "ansible-galaxy collection list ." to
figure out the collection version you are using.
You may raise an issue here
 for me to track
it better.

Sagar Paul
