Hi

I have a number of ubuntu servers that I want to update using ansible via AWX. 
my current test playbook :

---
  - hosts: all
    tasks:
    - name: Test Connection
      ansible.builtin.ping:

    - name: Update Cache
      become: true
      apt:
        update_cache: true

is not work as expected on the ubuntu servers.
The servers that have the root user configured are fine. But the Ubuntu servers 
where the root user doesn't have a password set are failing with the following 
error:

"Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation: Failed to lock directory 
/var/lib/apt/lists/: E:Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: 
Permission denied)"

In AWX I have configured privilege escalation to use sudo but this doesnt help.

I have tried moving the become: yes statement but this did help.

Doe the apt module support the sudo ?

What have I missed ?

Thank you

  Greg


Hello Greg,

you miss "become: true" in your playbook-

It is possible that the SSL setup on the target is too old. You could check that

Try running with more verbosity (-vvv) and see what that returns.

Hi everyone,

I've tried to using a variable in find module by pattern by it doesn't seems to

I want to list all the backup files in a directory. The files have a timestamp 
and it's filename will be defined by variable.
Does anyone have an idea how should I proceed? or in which way?

Thanks in advance for your help

Here's the variables:
---
file:

     state: present
[...]

Here's the task:
---
[...]
find:
   paths: /tmp
   recurse: false
   file_type_ file
   patterns: '^{{ item.filename }}\.[0-9]{6}.*$'
   use_regex: yes

Hello, you need to quote the argument for the loop:

  loop: '{{ file }}'

Any help appreciated,

Using lineinfile doesn't make sense when your write the whole file. In this

and so on

How do I get this date to csv file like below?

Clusters,192.168.1.2,node2,down
Clusters,192.168.1.3,node3,up

Re: [ansible-project] Lineinfile - Remove line if the regexp match but the variable inside item is not defined.

[Stefan Hornburg (Racke)]

On 08/08/2022 14:19, farrukh ahmed wrote:

Hello Team,

Hope you all are doing well.

I'm stuck at lineinfile module.

how to check if a variable inside each item is defined then add the line in the 
file, otherwise if the regex found the match in the remote host file but the 
variable inside an item is not defined then remove only that regex matched line 
from the file. And continue to the next item (should not terminate the module 
execution and continue to next item if variable is not defined).

CASE:

### Here is my defaults > main.yml
```
command: /home/farrukh/idle.sh
autostart: true
autorestart: true
stderr_logfile: /var/log/idle.err.log
stdout_logfile: /var/log/idle.out.log
numprocs: 2
```

### Here is tasks > main.yml
```
- name: "Update Job Parameters in .conf file"
lineinfile:
path: "{{ supervisor_config_path }}/job_{{ job_name }}.conf"
backrefs: yes
regexp: "{{ item.regexp }}"
line: "{{ item.line }}"
when: item.line is not search(omit)
with_items:
- { regexp: '^command', line: "command={{ command | d(omit) }}M" }
- { regexp: '^autostart', line: "autostart={{ autostart | d(omit) }}" }
- { regexp: '^autorestart', line: "autorestart={{ autorestart | d(omit) }}M" }
- { regexp: '^stderr_logfile', line: "stderr_logfile={{ stderr_logfile | d(omit) 
}}" }
- { regexp: '^stdout_logfile', line: "stdout_logfile={{ stdout_logfile | d(omit) 
}}" }
- { regexp: '^numprocs', line: "numprocs={{ numprocs | d(omit) }}" }
```

### Here is the file on the remote host "job_idle.conf"
```
[program:job_idle]
command=/home/ubuntu/idle.sh
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/idle.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/idle.out.log
```

Now, for instance, If I comment out the variable "autorestart" from the defaults 
> main.yml. like below:

### defaults > main.yml
```
command: /home/farrukh/idle.sh
autostart: true
#autorestart: true
stderr_logfile: /var/log/idle.err.log
stdout_logfile: /var/log/idle.out.log
numprocs: 2
```

Then running playbook, should get the desired result of job_idle.conf like 
below:
## The file on the remote host "job_idle.conf"
```
[program:job_idle]
command=/home/ubuntu/idle.sh
autostart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/idle.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/idle.out.log
```

It should remove the line autorestart. As the variable "autorestart" was commented 
out from defaults > main.yml and not defined.

It is this case achievable with this module?



Looking at your output file it is a real candidate for the template module. 
lineinfile is a bit tricky, but it can be useful to replace
a few lines in a larger file.

 Racke

Thanks for your reply Vladimir Botka.

This is my actual case:

TCP_KEEPALIVE: 0

And this is:

    - { regexp: '^timeout', line: "timeout {{ TIMEOUT }}" }


I want this to check if each variable inside an item is defined then make the 
changes to the line in the file, otherwise skip only those items which 
variables is not defined.
For Instance, If I comment out the variable MAX_MEM from the defaults > 
main.yml. like below:

# Default Params Values
##MAX_MEM: 3000
TCP_KEEPALIVE: 0
TCP_BACKLOG: 511
MAX_CLIENTS: 15000
TIMEOUT: 1500

Then the execution should skip changes to the line where MAX_MEM is undefined, 
and the rest lines should be changed as they defined.

Is it possible?


Sorry, but it eludes me why you didn't come up with the actual case in the 
first place.  I see no point in wasting everyone's time.

Set *default* to avoid errors, add attribute *def*, and select lines.
For example,

shell> cat pb.yml

- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
lines:
- regexp: '^text1'
line: 'text1 = {{ VAR1|d("undef") }}'
def: '{{ VAR1 is defined }}'

def: '{{ VAR2 is defined }}'
- regexp: '^text3'
line: 'text3 = {{ VAR3|d("undef") }}'
def: '{{ VAR3 is defined }}'
tasks:
- debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ lines|selectattr('def') }}"

gives

shell> ansible-playbook pb.yml -e VAR1=test

PLAY [localhost]

TASK [debug]

ok: [localhost] => (item={'regexp': '^text1', 'line': 'text1 = test',

That doesn't look like a proper path: "path": " /opt/db/backup/postgres/backups 
".

Also it doesn't coincide with your playbook.

sorry, my bad. I have several identical actions and mixed up the TASK of one 
with the return of another. So in reality they match up. The installation path 
/opt/db/postgres is what we do here in my context (despite the standard 
/var/lib/pgsql/...).


You still have spurious white space in your path:

"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"checksum_algorithm": "sha1",
"follow": false,
"get_attributes": true,
"get_checksum": true,
"get_md5": false,
"get_mime": true,
"path": " /opt/db/postgres "
}
},

That's the reason why the next task is skipped.

2 TASKS should be doing this

- name: move legacy postgres - stat postgres_base
  stat: path=/opt/db/postgres
  register: postgres_base_stat
- name: move legacy postgres - move postgres_base to postgres_base_legacy
    command: mv /opt/db/postgres /opt/db/postgres/legacy"
    when: postgres_base_stat.stat.exists

The TASKS run through, but do not move the folder as intended, apparently because the stat TASK 
does not return the right value ("skip_reason": "Conditional result was False")
Do I have to reverse the when clause?

The ansible user can't edit the file, so try "become_user: root" in your 
task.

I suppose this directory is either missing on the remote machine or the

Hello Pransath,

you are using -i localhost in the playbook command, maybe that's the problem?

Thank you for your reply. This is the Git repo

Basically, I'm running the Ansible playbook from the AWS Systems Manager Console --> 
Run command --> AWS-ApplyAnsiblePlaybooks --> Specify the Github repo location --> 
Choose the target instances --> Run.

It works fine if I change 'hosts: all' in the playbook instead of the group 
name 'dev'. But, I just only want to run against a group.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here? I'm very new to Ansible.

Hi All,

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question.

I'm trying to run an ansible playbook from Github using AWS Systems 
Manager. My repo has a hosts (ini format) file as shown below:

/[dev] server.example.com  /

And my playbook looks like below:

/--- - name: test run
/
/  hosts: dev
/
/  become: true /


This isn't valid nor complete.
Please provide the entire playbook using a correct formatting

When I run the playbook, I get the error below:

PLAY [test run] 
 skipping: no hosts 
matched

Any idea why it is not picking up the hosts? Can someone help me to 
resolve this issue?

What is the reason for quoting this boolean? It is usually done to force it
to be a string, but AFAIK this parameter requires a boolean.


Historical reasons, fixed. I probably didnt know any better, and it's
still a matter of try-and-err whether to find out whether ansible
wants/insists on things being quoted or not.

[snip]


I don't see anything totally wrong with the above approach.
Perhaps try to avoid the inline lists but that's cosmetics.


How would I write them any better?


In the other news, where would I correctly place (and activate) this handler:

---
- name: apt update
command: "apt-get update"

if I intend to notify this handler from any role that might use the apt
provider to install packages?


What is the use case for this?
If you want to make sure this is always run prior to any package task, then
you should use the update_cache parameters of the apt module:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/apt_module.html#parameter-update_cache


updating the package lists after fiddling with things in /etc/apt, for
example preparing a release upgrade or adding an external repository
(docker *cough*). Doing an apt update right before any check whether any
required package is already installed seems overkill, but I need to
ponder about that.


You can add/modify/delete the external repo with Ansible and run the apt update 
only when the repo changed.

The equivalent for "apt-get update" is:

- name: Update APT cache
  apt:
update_cache: yes

My two cents:

- host name / remote user should be in the inventory and not in the playbook
- consider using import_role instead of include_role

Using a loop is futile here, as you found out. But you can do that with a 
bit Python:

- name: Set a hostname
hostname:
name: "web-server-{{ groups['web-server'].index(inventory_hostname) }}"

And here's the result (a part...):

TASK [reposync : debugging] 
***

ok: [] => {

     "msg": [

     [

     {

     "key": "list_of_linux",

     "value": [

 {

 "description": "linux SLES",

     "enabled": 1,

     "version": 15,

     "name": "sles"

     },

     {

     "description": "linux RHEL",

     "enabled": 1,

     "version": 8.4,

     "name": "rhel"

     }

     ]

     }

     ]

     ]

}

Now, I want to define the name value as a dict to loop on this to have  
at the end a loop to retrieve these variables, like so…

"name: {{ item['name'] }}"
"description: {{ item['description'] }}"
"version: {{ item['version'] }}"
etc…

Unfortunately I don't find how can i do that. I've try many things, 
like item.value[0][0] to have the first element of the first list but it 
doesn't run.

With set_fact i cannot do a dict on the list too:

- set_fact:
      dict: “{{ dict(_keys|zip(linux_file_list)) }}"
   vars:
     _keys: "{{ item['value']|map(attribute='name')|list }}"
   loop: "{{ linux_file_list | dict2items }}"

As anyone an Idea how can I resolve this? I can't see my problem 
clearly anymore and I need your help

Thanks in advance for your help, H

Looks like the default shell on the target doesn't know about "source". Use 
"." instead or force the usage of bash with:

    executable: "/bin/bash"

in your shell task.

How I can fix the timeout issue with both ways?

What does `vagrant ssh-config` say?  Does it use the IP 172.30.240.1?

I don't think so. Looks like Vagrant didn't set up the IP properly.

that version is really old and outdated. You should upgrade at least to
the latest 2.9.x release (2.9.27), or even to the latest Ansible
release (5.2.0).

This is the correct syntax (assuming your domain name is
inventory_hostname):

Without knowing your playbook...

...it's hard to say why this happens.

Same for this:

There should be. (You can also set `force: true` to force regeneration.)

Are you sure that you are really running the playbook that you
modified, and not something else?

The following would work in a shell command...

Figure there has to be an Ansible elegant way to do this?

Any help appreciated.


 - debug:

You might need *four* backslashes to get rid of the original backslash.

But you can get away with *two" by swapping the quotes:

 - debug:

   vars:
 input: 'This is a test\u'

Re: [ansible-project] include_roles, with tags from a dictionary loop?

[Stefan Hornburg (Racke)]

On 11/01/2022 15:53, dkol...@olearycomputers.com wrote:

Hey;

I'm having difficulty coming up with the right syntax to add/include roles, 
with tags, from a loop such that I can limit execution to specific tags.


Hello,

in my opinion tags should be use to control the playbook flow and not to 
determine which role is getting to applied to a server.

This belongs to the inventory:

- import_role:
name: mysql
  when: "'mysql_servers' in group_names"

- import_role:
name: nginx
   when: "'nginx_servers' in group_names"

This is more flexible than tags and a better place for the assignment of the 
roles.

Regards
   Racke


In the tasks section, this syntax works:


# This syntax works but isn't very flexible.  It does, however,
# allow us to select specific tasks to run.
   - name: include root role
     include_role:
       name: root
     tags:
       - rootpwd
       - rootbin
       - rootkeys
       - drex

   - name: include commone role
     include_role:
       name: common

and I can limit execution by running  'ansible-playbook ./pb.yml -l grp -l 
rootpwd' for instance.  That's not very flexible; however, as I'd like to avoid 
having to edit the playbook every time a role gets a new tag.

I have a structure in my group_vars/all file thusly:

commonroles:
   - { n: common,  t: [ 'nil' ] }
   - { n: root,    t: [ 'rootpwd', 'rootbin', 'rootkeys', 'drex' ] }

Debug tasks show I have the syntax the way I expect; however, I can't seem to 
get the include_role module to use the structure

For example, this syntax, in the tasks section, results in no tags::

   - name: include common roles
     include_role:
       name: "{{rolename.n}}"
       apply:
         tags: "{{rolename.t}}"
     loop: "{{commonroles}}"
     loop_control:
       loop_var: rolename

$ ansible-playbook ./configmgmt.yml -l amwtest --list-tags

playbook: ./configmgmt.yml

   play #1 (all): Main configuration management playbook TAGS: []
       TASK TAGS: []

Without the --ilst-tags, this results in an error:

FAILED! => {"msg": "the field 'tags' should be a list of ((,), ), but the item '['nil']' is a 

So, it seems my issue is how I'm trying to present the tags...

Any ideas on how I can create a data structure of roles and tags that's usable 
by include_role  via a loop?

Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.

Definitely not, that is pulled from thin air if you ask me.

Try that:

when: vars.get('ansible_' + interface).active

Note:

Gather facts saves the network interface information in separate variables 
(e.g. ansible_eth0) instead of a dict/list,
so accessing the info for a specific item is a bit awkward.

From expect module documentation:

If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using <, >, |, and so on), 
you must specify a shell in the command such as /bin/bash -c "/path/to/something | grep

Don't understand why you try to feed an empty password to MySQL. Do you use

The mysql_db module cant enter in mysql, returns the error     "msg":

since i need to enter with root user.

Maybe you start with sharing your playbook and the contents of the

The modules mysql_user and mysql_db should be able to create your

Re: [ansible-project] Execute an .sql script on mysql with secure installation

Hi,
I am trying to use an sql script to create a database in mariadb on a openbsd 
server with ansible.
My playbook first create the script with the name of the database to create and then uses expect to 
give the command "mysql -u root -p < script.sql" and then responses the password with 
"" because theres no password.
I try to use the script created by ansible and it works.
I try to use the same command that ansible is using and it works.
I took the "< script.sql" part to see if the problem was the password, and 
ansible enter in mysql without returning any error.

When i use the playbook with "< script.sql" in command, ansible returns the 
error of non-zero return code returning rc=1.

Anyone know how to solve it??


Maybe you start with sharing your playbook and the contents of the script!?

The modules mysql_user and mysql_db should be able to create your database with 
the associated users.

Regards
Racke



I've tried also the community.mysql module, but it didnt worked also to create 
the first database.

Best Regards,

Tiago Oliveira

I think that the Python keyword None (without quotes around) is the equivalent

Racke,
One glitch that I did not understand...

I must add:

host: all

instead of just

hosts: icinga.example.com

when: "{{inventory_hostname == 'icinga.example.com'}}"

to the other tasks.  Small price to pay.

Thank you.


Chris, you can still use "hosts: icinga.example.com" and iterate over the all 
group:

{% for host in groups['all'] %}
...
{% endfor %}

BTW: the when condition is automatically evaluated by Jinja, so drop the curly

I think I could duplicate the hosts section in the vars section and then

I could actually create a file for each host and that would actually work in 
icinga2.  But I want it in a single file for future readability and to avoid

I could give up on ansible for this and use python and jinja2 to pass the hosts

Is there a way to actually read the hosts inventory in traditional ansible

I've wanted to do this in other scenarios but abandoned those attempts.

What am I missing?


The copy module only supports the controller or target itself (remote_src) for 
the source file.

Take a look at the synchronize module if you want copy from one target to 
another.

there's no module fur such actions.



Hello Roman,

yeah, I guess you need to use the command module (not the shell module) or a 
dedicated backup software that does the encryption.

Now you can use the inventory_hostname variable in your task:

   - name: update hostname

I don't think the lookup plugin makes it any easier or user friendly. The 
common approach is to put the OS dependent variables in separate files and use

include_vars, for example:

- name: Include variables depending on OS details
  include_vars: "{{ item }}"
  with_first_found:
    - files:
    - "{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{ ansible_distribution_major_version 
}}.yml"
    - "{{ ansible_distribution }}.yml"
    - "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"
    - "defaults.yml"

The disadvantage of this approach that you need to repeat the values from 
Debian.yml in Debian-11.yml.

At any rate, nohup is IMHO not the correct way to start an application as a 
server / daemon. Even if some tutorials on the web say so. There is no control 
of the running application, so please use some kind of supervisor (e.g.systemd).

On top of that using the shell module is fragile and not recommended unless the 
command module really doesn't to the trick for you.

Re: [ansible-project] Unarchive and FreeBSD

On 10/11/2021 18:32, Norman Gray wrote:


Greetings.

I recently raised issue , 
connected to the behaviour of the `unarchive` module on FreeBSD.  It was closed as a 
duplicate and, in effect, not-a-bug, with the indication that any further commentary 
or discussion would be more welcome here than on the bugparade.

So...

One workaround suggested is to install gtar on the target machine, but apart 
from that requiring a further package/task, it's arguably poor FreeBSD style to 
require tools that aren't part of the install (requiring Python in order to use 
Ansible is of course a necessary breach of that).  FreeBSD (and I think the 
other BSDs as well) places something of a premium on using the tool-suite 
available in the stock install, where possible.  Because of its dependence on 
an optional package (gtar), I would therefore class the `unarchive` module as 
‘broken on stock FreeBSD’.

The alternative workaround of avoiding `unarchive`, and using the `command` 
module to untar archives, is more attractive, to the extent that it fits my 
perception of good style in this context.

I'd be interested in any thoughts.

Best wishes,

Norman

Yes it requires an extra task, but still better IMHO than inventing workarounds 
for unarchive.

Re: [ansible-project] installing postgres - error with initdb -D /path/to/pg_data

I figured out that apparently using ansible_become_user: root in the

Changing
ansible_become_user: root
to
ansible_root_user: root

in the defaults file and the playbok makes this issue going away. Apparently 
the term ansible_become_user is more then just a string and overwrites all 
other become_user occurences.


I think there is actually no need to set these variables at all as "root" is 
the default.

Racke



If I remember correctly it may be even workable to skip the become_user: xyz 
(and just say become: yes) in the playbook if I do not want to become anyone 
else then root and likewise share me this sort of trouble

Hey!

We can't access the playbook here - https://pastebin.com/edit/9Uvjdupe 
 at least I can't. pastebin redirects me to

I'm going to assume you are using sudo as become_method. I am also going to 
assume selinux is not part of the issue here, nor standard unix permissions or 
posix acls.

When you run the task manually:  /opt/db/postgres/postgresql/bin/initdb -D 
/opt/db/data/postgres/data/ on the target as user postgres ... say you login as 
root to the machine then you run su - postgres, right? At this point you are 
running commands as postgres.

 I'm wondering if you can mimic that very same behaviour adding become_flags to 
the equation:

- name: configure postgres - create database
  command: "{{ postgres_home }}/bin/initdb -D {{ postgres_data }}"
  args:
    creates: "{{ postgres_data }}/PG_VERSION"
  become: yes
  become_flags: "su - {{ ansible_postgres_user }} -c"
  become_user: "{{ ansible_postgres_user }}"

Please let me know if that works,

Regards,

Hello Vinod,

it looks like Splunk provides playbooks for Ansible:

I guess this "job" is the running of the playbook?

go


Sorry, I wanted to see the head of the playbook respective the place in 
inventory where you set up the
become: variables.

actually I figured out in the meantime that aparently my trouble lies exactly 
there:
I have a defaults.yaml that injects a bunch of variables into the playbook.
In that defaults.yml there is a variable referencing to user 'postgres' as 
ansible_become_user

ansible_become_user: postgres

So I assume I'll have to figure out how to utilize different become users in a 
single playbook. I tried or overrule the defaults entry temporarily with ...

  become: yes
become_user: [root_user]

... inside the TASK, but that apparently was not interpreted in the way I wanted


The default for the become_user should be root and you can override it in your 
tasks.

It can be tricky, so here an example how I do it:

- name: Ensure PostgreSQL database is initialized (RedHat, Suse)
  command: "{{ postgresql_initdb_path }} -D {{ postgresql_data_dir }}"
  become: true
  become_user: "{{ postgresql_user }}"
  vars:
    ansible_ssh_pipelining: true
  when:
    - postgresql_data_version_dir.stat.exists == false
    - ansible_os_family in ['Alpine', 'RedHat', 'Suse']

however ... what do I do whith that output ('state: absent' in my test 
scenario)?

Maybe I need to put this to work as some sort of condition deciding whether to 
run a 'service' task disabling the postgresql.service or not?



Correct. For example:

when: ansible_facts.services.postgresql.state == 'running'


ok, thx. I'll play with that


I am still stuck with this:

theses 3 TASKS should take care of checking the status of postgresql.server and 
(if running) stop it

   - name: gather service facts
 service_facts:

   - name: return postgres running or not

   - name: stop postgresql.service from systemd if running
 service:

   state: stopped
   when: ansible_facts.services.postgresql.state == 'running'

"when" is a task level parameter and not a module parameter, so please shift it to the 
left on the same level as "become".

Syntax Error while loading YAML.
   did not find expected key

The error appears to be in 
'/home/gwagner/repos/ansible/step/step_server_env/postgres_install_test_external.yml':
 line 130, column 4, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

Could be an indentation problem.

I figured out soome sort of sense-making output with adding 2 tasks based on 
what you posted.


- name: gather service facts
  service_facts:

- name: return postgres running or not
  debug:
msg: "{{ ansible_facts.services.postgresql | default({ 'state' : 'absent'}) 
}}"


however ... what do I do whith that output ('state: absent' in my test 
scenario)?

Maybe I need to put this to work as some sort of condition deciding whether to 
run a 'service' task disabling the postgresql.service or not?



Correct. For example:

when: ansible_facts.services.postgresql.state == 'running'


ok, thx. I'll play with that

You can check the status of the postgresql service as follows:

No, use my tasks verbatim.

What is the diagnosis of the syntax check?

The mail module apparently doesn't check its parameters. For example "from" is going to be ignored,

My advice would be to write a script that does the nohup with all the 
redirections instead using it verbatim. See 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41676607/ansible-terminates-my-app-with-nohup
 for more information. If you do that, switch to command module.
