This repository contains a collection of tools that I find useful in working with Ansible.

The ansible-role script allows you to run a role from the command line.

The ansible-task script allows you to run a task list directly from the command line.

For example, if you have a role roles/testrole, you can run it on localhost like this:

ansible-role testrole

This will target localhost by default, but you can use --inventory and --host to modify the target of the role.

The ansible-task script works similarly:

ansible-task my-task-list.yml

The following options are unique to these commands:

• --hosts, -H hosts -- The value of this argument will be applied to the hosts: line in the generated playbook. Defaults to localhost.
• --gather, -g -- Enable fact gathering (this is the default)
• --no-gather, -G -- Disable fact gathering

The following additional options are simply proxies to the equivalent ansible-playbook options:

• --verbose, -v
• --sudo, -s
• --become, -b
• --user, -u user
• --inventory, -i inventory
• --extra-vars, -e vars

Installation

You can run:

python setup.py install
