Added solution to avoid checking in manpages. Just run "make" and we'll build
docs before python setup.py. Seems reasonable to let Makefile drivepull/3/head

.SH "NAME"
|
||||
ansible-modules \- stock modules shipped with ansible
|
||||
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Ansible ships with a number of modules that can be executed directly on remote hosts or through ansible playbooks\&.
|
||||
.SH "IDEMPOTENCE"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Most modules other than command are idempotent, meaning they will seek to avoid changes unless a change needs to be made\&. When using ansible playbooks, these modules can trigger change events, as described in ansible\-playbooks (5)\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Unless otherwise noted, all modules support change hooks\&.
|
||||
.SH "COMMAND"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
The command module takes the command name followed by a list of arguments, space delimited\&. This is the only module that does not use key=value style parameters\&.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Example usage
|
||||
.RS 4

||||
.sp
|
||||
(Async command running and command execution time limits are in plan\&.)
|

.SH "COPY"

The copy module moves a file on the local box to remote locations\&.

||||
\fBsrc=\fR

.RE

.sp

This module also returns md5sum information about the resultant file\&.
|
||||
.SH "FACTER"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Runs the discovery program \fIfacter\fR on the remote system, returning JSON data that can be useful for inventory purposes\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Requires that \fIfacter\fR and \fIruby\-json\fR be installed on the remote end\&.

This module is informative only \- it takes no parameters & does not support change hooks, nor does it make any changes on the system\&.

Ensures the ownership and permissions of files are as desired\&.

.SH "OHAI"

.sp
|

Similar to the facter module, this returns JSON inventory data\&. Ohai data is a bit more verbose and nested than facter\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Requires that \fIohai\fR be installed on the remote end\&.
|

.sp
|

|

Writes a JSON file containing key/value data, for use in templating\&. Call this once before using the template modules, usually as the very first step in your playbook\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
If facter or ohai are installed, variables from these programs will also be snapshotted into the JSON file for usage in templating\&. These variables are prefixed with \fIfacter_\fR and \'ohai_" so it\(cqs easy to tell their source\&.
|
||||
.PP
|

\fBmetadata=\fR
|

To write your own modules, simply follow the convention of those already available in /usr/share/ansible\&. Modules must return JSON but can be written in any language\&. To support change hooks, modules should return hashes, with a changed: True/False element at the top level\&. Modules can also choose to indicate a failure scenario by returning a top level \fIfailure\fR element with a True value\&.

.SH "NAME"
|
||||
ansible-playbook \- format and function of an ansible playbook file
|
||||
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Ansible ships with \fIansible\-playbook\fR, a tool for running playbooks\&. Playbooks can represent frequent tasks, desired system configurations, or deployment processes\&.
|
||||
.SH "FORMAT"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Playbooks are written in YAML\&.
|
||||
.SH "EXAMPLE"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
see https://github\&.com/mpdehaan/ansible/blob/master/examples/playbook\&.yml
|
||||
.SH "WHAT THE EXAMPLE MEANS"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Here\(cqs what the above example will do\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
For all hosts in /etc/ansible/hosts (one host per line) that are named \fIwebserver\-anything\fR, first write a JSON file into /etc/ansible/setup on each remote system with the values max_clients and http_port\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Next, use a Jinja2 template locally residing at /srv/templates/httpd\&.j2 to write the Apache config file on each host to the path /etc/httpd\&.conf, using the previous values\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
We\(cqll ensure that apache is running if stopped\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
If and only if the config file changed, note that we need to restart apache at the end of the run, otherwise, don\(cqt bother because we already know it is running\&.
|
||||
.SH "HIGH LEVEL EXPLANATION"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Playbooks are executed top down and can contain multiple references to patterns\&. For instance, a playbook could do something to all webservers, then do something to all database servers, then do something different to all webservers again\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
For each pattern, the tasks in the \fItasks\fR list are executed in order for all hosts in the host file matching the pattern\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
For each task, a name/action pair describes what the task is and what ansible module to use to accomplish the task, along with any arguments\&. Additional fields like \fIcomment:\fR can be added and will be ignored, so feel free to take notes in the file\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Most modules accept key=value format arguments\&.
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Handlers are like tasks, but are conditionally executed\&. If a module reports a \fIchange\fR, it can notify one or more handler by name\&. If notified, it will run only for hosts that changed\&.
|
||||
.SH "ERROR HANDLING"
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
If a host has a failure, the host will be ignored for the remainder of the playbook execution\&.

||||
