Labitat Ansible
Ansible playbooks for space infrastructure
Running ansible
ansible-playbook <playbook>.yml -D [-t <tag>[,<tag2>,..]] [-C]
<playbook>.yml: the playbook you wish to run-D: prints the changes made, fx. the difference between old and updated files-t <tag>: limit the run to certain tags, tasks are usually tagged with their name-C: don't make any changes, just show what would be changed
example:
ansible-playbook jumbotron.yml -D -t irssi -C
This will log into the jumbotron server and show how the irssi configuration would be updated by your local changes in your ansible repo.
ansible-playbook jumbotron.yml -D -t irssi
This will actually do the changes, but again limit itself to just the tasks that are
tagged irssi.
