You might be able to drink it in an emergency, but you might still die.

This repo is an Ansible collection containing some of my own Ansible plugins that died in the PR phase, and have instead been moved to this festering repository.

exec_binary_module

Generally speaking, most users should not even know they are interacting with exec_binary_module, but instead should be using the name of an underlying binary module implementation.

To achieve this, requires a small addition to a collections meta/runtime.yml:

  plugin_routing:
    modules:
      helloworld:
        action_plugin: sivel.toiletwater.exec_binary_module
      another_module:
        action_plugin: sivel.toiletwater.exec_binary_module

At which point, with modules named something like helloworld_linux_amd64 a user would only have to do the following:

- namespace.name.helloworld:
    name: sivel

- namespace.name.another_module:
    some_argument: true
