If the requirements per host are different you can do it two ways: 1. Create a role per host 2. Split your current roles into 'generic' that are applicable to all hosts and 'specific' that only apply to given hosts It's probably easier to have a playbook per host then trying to coerce a single

Re: [ansible-project] reboot with ignore_errors still errors out

Hi, Perhaps not directly answering your question - but a workaround I used in a number of playbooks (added to the tasks that times out, in your case the one that unsets the noout): - name: Unset the noout flag command: ceph osd unset noout register: result until: result.failed is undefined

Re: [ansible-project] remote access to lxc containers on lxc-host without ssh inside the containers

One could argue that if you run lxc/lxd you're after system-like functionality (and not docker-style containers) hence you treat it the same way you'd treat a VM. One easy way of installing ssh inside a container is to use images with cloud-init. kind regards Pshem On Thu, 26 Jan 2017 at 06:14

Re: [ansible-project] Design ideas ansible provision with docker compose

Hi, If you want to run containers, but not necessarily docker - have a look at lxd/lxc. I currently use it exactly the way you mentioned - reusing roles and configs and simply pointing to different environments. kind regards Pshem On Mon, 23 Jan 2017 at 14:24 Sonny Heer
