Re: [ansible-project] Understanding lookup task context

No docs really, this is not something people normally hit as it is rare to try to do indirect lookups via hostvars. It has more to do on how hostvars works than anything else, it is a lazy object that is lazy loaded vars, pre 2.5 we woudl load all vars per host and keep that info (w/o it having

Dear all, I'm new to ansible and system admin on linux, I have a problem that I don't understand what happen behind the scene. Here is my scenario: - I create a kvm (machine B) on my host machine, this is also an ansible control machine (machine A) - Then copy the ssh key of the user (user X

[ansible-project] Re: Backing up files from target to controller node.

Hullo Julian. Sorry, can't figure out how to reply to your reply. Anyway: if you have the ability to do so, adjust the sshd config on the target to allow root users to log in, but only from localhost (127.0.0.0/8 or ::1). This is exactly as secure as allowing su or sudo, so does not breach

[ansible-project] Is it possible to tag an ENI in ansible?

Not so much a question as a comment. I would like to tag the ENIs I create with Ansible. ENI's certainly support tags, but the ec2_eni module doesn't have a "tags" attribute. I was able to tag the interfaces using the ec2_tag module, but it seems an odd omission not to be able to tag on

Hello, I hope someone could offer some guidance on how to solve a scenario I'm trying to automate. The objective is to obtain a back-up of a directory in the target machine (managed) and needs to be saved to the controller host (where ansible runs). Now, the problems: 1. I feel I cannot

Just wondering what I can look at for a slow server. It used to be just as fast as the others, but now it takes 3x as long when running Ansible playbooks against it (or even just gathering facts). It still works, just slow. My 50-60+ other servers are just fine. Where would you look to
