Re: [ansible-project] Re: how to use ansible galaxy roles

Yum isn't seeing the 'mysql-server' package in any of its configured repos. That's the right name for EL6 redhat/centos, maybe you're missing one of the base repos? Get that working first before you ask Ansible to install it, and things will be ok. On 3 February 2017 at 21:28, jithendra myla

Re: [ansible-project] Inventory Configuration

The second command is what i'd expect to work. group_vars/ , host_vars/ etc are relative to the directory holding the 'hosts' static list. General rule: if you're going to target plays against different groups of servers, put them as groups in a single inventory. There'd be nothing wrong with a

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible best practice

Just apply both roles to your mongodb group, and if you want to be explicit you'd just set some vars on that group that both roles can use to find paths etc. On 31 January 2017 at 13:35, Rui Goncalves wrote: > Hi all, > > I have no experience writing ansible roles. At the

[ansible-project] managing xml fragments a la lineinfile

Does anyone here a good tip for managing parts of xml files (like lineinfile / blockinfile but xml-aware)? I have several fairly complex apps to manage, each with their own role. Ideally they'd each manage their own subset of the domain.xml, which rules out a single domain.xml template.

Re: [ansible-project] PostgreSQL 9.5 or Higher installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

The error looks a lot like apt-get is unable to find the packages you want. Until you fix that I don't think there's much Ansible can do, it's just asking apt-get to install the packages you specify. On 30 January 2017 at 15:54, Shyam Yenna wrote: > I posted exact error

Re: [ansible-project] Re: SSH via Jumpbox

So you all use roots private key on the jumpbox to access the protected servers? Forgive me but that seems a bit backwards - you lose audit trail for the servers being accessed, since you're all logging in with the same private key (i.e. roots key on the jump host). We generally ssh to our jump

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible enhancement request: persistent variables?

My worry about that sort of approach is it assumes the local playbook directory is authoritative - in our case several people have access to run our playbooks, so that would get messy very quickly. Keeping state on the managed hosts would be a better idea, and in that case you could keep 'lock

It's not looking very much like an Ansible problem from where I'm sat. Do you have e.g. a proxy environment variable set in your shell running wget that you haven't set in the ansible task? On 9 December 2016 at 15:42, Balu Kompalli wrote: >> Yes, That link is fine. But

Re: [ansible-project] Possible Improvement to the 'command' Module

It's not a bad idea, but it would need a bit of work to cater to things like directories. I often use a task like this to create automatically versioned directory names if I can't find an RPM: - name: extract {{ foobar_version }}.tgz unarchive: src=/tmp/{{ foobar_version }}.tgz

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Problem With Simple Template

That playbook tells ansible to create the template on the 'all' group i.e. everything in the inventory. That's what it's trying to do. for your use case, just make 2 roles: ntp_server and ntp_client, and apply them to groups as required. On 22 November 2016 at 05:58, Jon Forrest

Re: [ansible-project] Can Ipaddress of the target be fetched by ansible?

It's hard to give details because you haven't explained why you don't know the IP. I've used multicast DNS (via avahi ) on DHCP booted Raspberry Pis to advertise hostnames, then put those hostnames into groups in flat file inventories. That means the servers can change IP without having to
