[ansible-project] Is it possible to pass 'vars_prompt' variables from one playbook to another that would normally resemble passing arguments in functions?

I'm wondering whether or not its possible to pass variables defined by 'vars_prompt' from one playbook to another when that other playbook is properly referenced in the first playbook. In other programming languages, this would be the equivalent of passing function arguments when the functions

[ansible-project] Question on 'networks' parameter for VMWare cloud module

I have a question about the 'networks' parameter for the VMWare cloud module. How do the options in this particular parameter get passed to the operating system during the initial deployment or setup process? With the virtual machine NIC settings for any ESXi instance, there is no place to defi

I don't think you can technically do that from the current list of available modules: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/list_of_cloud_modules.html I popped an earlier question about how ESXi transfers IP address settings but no one got back to me. Some of the network settings appl

[ansible-project] Total Ansible n00b needing guidance on translating bash command to Ansible playlist

Hi, I'm trying to run the following nested bash command: rm $( locate somefile ) but Ansible is kicking back an error asking me to use "state=absent" instead. How do I execute this while I'm searching for the potential location of "somefile" at the same time? And is this the correct location f

[ansible-project] Modifying local files while targeting a remote system

Is it possible to modify local files while targeting a remote system in an Ansible YAML file? I'm trying to run an Ansible script on a remote machine, but when everything finishes on that remote machine, I'd like to move that hostname from one Ansible hosts file to another. Is it possible and if

What's the best way to use Ansible to manage software updates where installer config files have the potential to overwrite the config settings you currently have in place? I'm trying to see if there's a way for Ansible to apply software upgrades on all my *NIX machines but notify me when it run

[ansible-project] Replace command not picking up on my regex

I'm trying to use Ansible to add several lines of text after a specific line in a config file using the replace module and for whatever reason when I run the playbook, I get back OK responses instead of CHANGED. Below is the following line in the config file: check_interval 24x7

[ansible-project] Can Ansible execute a Dockerfile on Docker to setup platforms for PXE boots?

I'd like to setup an HTTP server on a Docker image to serve as a platform for PXE booting and I don't see a clear way for Ansible to be able to execute a Dockerfile on a local Docker instance to spawn an HTTP server. I don't know if it'd be effective to continuously build and destroy a docker i
