[ansible-project] Keeping inventory and other data separate from code
Hi all, Currently my inventory is stored in the same git repo as my play(book)s, roles etc, which I don't like. What are common ways to avoid this? Perhaps keep inventory in a subdir which is .gitignored, and make that a separate repo? I also want to keep data which is not strictly inventory - eg lists of users, ssh keys etc which are specific to my site/business, but shared across many hosts and groups. I think I need to use lookups to access this. Perhaps that data and inventory can go together in that other repo? eg: /home/richard/ansible/ .git/ .gitignore (ansible/data) .ansible.cfg /data .git/ /inventory hosts /host_vars /group_vars users.yml /plays /roles Does that seem reasonable? That way, if (when) I have questions in the future, I can refer you all to my ansible repo without sharing the private data :-) Are there better ways to do this?
