Ansible

https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/ansible/

install

pip install ansible

Requirement Server

  • ssh access
  • python

inventory file (ini-format)

e.g. hosts.ini

[app]
192.168.60.5
192.168.60.6
192.168.1.80 ansible_user=stereosonic

[db]
192.168.60.7

# group has all server
[multi:children]
app
db

# variables for all servers
[multi:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=vagrant

set inventory file in ansible.cfg

[defaults]
inventory=hosts.ini

ad-hoc commands

ansible -i hosts.ini multi -m ping # uses the ping module

or with ansible.cfg inventory setting

ansible multi -m ping

ansible multi -a "date" # uses the default module 'command'

ansible multi -m setup # returns all the informations from a server

useful settings

-b run as sudo

ansible multi -b -a "apt-get update"

limit run to a specific host

ansible multi -a "date" --limit "192.168.60.5" or ansible multi -a "date" --limit "*.5"

forks (parallel execution)

this speeds up the exection

ansible multi -a "date" -f 1 # only one ansible multi -a "date" -f 4 # four in parallel
