<p>The following examples show how to use <cite>/usr/bin/ansible</cite> for running ad-hoc tasks.

Start here. For configuration management and deployments, you’ll want to pick up on

using <cite>/usr/bin/ansible-playbook</cite> – the concepts port over directly.</p>

<h2>Parallelism and Shell Commands<a class="headerlink" href="#parallelism-and-shell-commands" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Let’s use ansible’s command line tool to reboot all web servers in Atlanta, 10 at a time:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ssh-agent bash
|
|
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
|
|
|
ansible atlanta -a "/sbin/reboot" -f 10</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The -f 10 specifies the usage of 10 simultaneous processes.</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p class="last">Note that other than the <a class="reference internal" href="modules.html#command"><em>command</em></a> module, ansible modules do
|
|
not work like simple scripts. They make the remote system look like
|
|
you state, and run the commands necessary to get it there. This
|
|
is commonly referred to as ‘idempotent’.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|

|
|
<div class="section" id="file-transfer-templating">
|
|
<h2>File Transfer & Templating<a class="headerlink" href="#file-transfer-templating" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Ansible can SCP lots of files to multiple machines in parallel, and
|
|
optionally use them as template sources.</p>
|
|
<p>To just transfer a file directly to many different servers:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible atlanta -m copy -a "/etc/hosts /tmp/hosts"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>To use templating, first run the setup module to put the template
|
|
variables you would like to use on the remote host. Then use the
|
|
template module to write the files using the templates. Templates are
|
|
written in Jinja2 format. Playbooks (covered elsewhere in the
|
|
documentation) will run the setup module for you, making this even
|
|
simpler.:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m setup -a "favcolor=red ntp_server=192.168.1.1"
|
|
ansible webservers -m template -a "src=/srv/motd.j2 dest=/etc/motd"
|
|
ansible webservers -m template -a "src=/srv/ntp.j2 dest=/etc/ntp.conf"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Need something like the fqdn in a template? If facter or ohai are
|
|
installed, data from these projects will also be made available to the
|
|
template engine, using ‘facter’ and ‘ohai’ prefixes for each.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="managing-packages">
|
|
<h2>Managing Packages<a class="headerlink" href="#managing-packages" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Ensure a package is installed, but don’t update it:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m yum -a "pkg=acme state=installed"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Ensure a package is installed to a specific version:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible-webservers -m yum -a "pkg=acme-1.5 state=installed"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Ensure a package is at the latest version:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m yum -a "pkg=acme state=latest"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Ensure a package is not installed:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<div>ansible-webservers -m yum -a “pkg=acme state=removed”</div></blockquote>
|
|
<p>Currently Ansible only has a module for managing packages with yum. You can install
|
|
for other package manages using the command module or contribute a module
|
|
for other package managers. Stop by the mailing list for info/details.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="deploying-from-source-control">
|
|
<h2>Deploying From Source Control<a class="headerlink" href="#deploying-from-source-control" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Deploy your webapp straight from git:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m git -a "repo=git://foo dest=/srv/myapp version=HEAD"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Since ansible modules can notify change handlers (see
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="playbooks.html"><em>Playbooks</em></a>) it is possible to tell ansible to run specific tasks
|
|
when the code is updated, such as deploying Perl/Python/PHP/Ruby
|
|
directly from git and then restarting apache.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="managing-services">
|
|
<h2>Managing Services<a class="headerlink" href="#managing-services" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Ensure a service is started on all webservers:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m service -a "name=httpd state=started"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Alternatively, restart a service on all webservers:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m service -a "name=httpd state=restarted"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Ensure a service is stopped:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m service -a "name=httpd state=stopped"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="time-limited-background-operations">
|
|
<h2>Time Limited Background Operations<a class="headerlink" href="#time-limited-background-operations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Long running operations can be backgrounded, and their status can be
|
|
checked on later. The same job ID is given to the same task on all
|
|
hosts, so you won’t lose track. If you kick hosts and don’t want
|
|
to poll, it looks like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible all -B 3600 -a "/usr/bin/long_running_operation --do-stuff"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>If you do decide you want to check on the job status later, you can:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible all -m async_status -a "jid=123456789"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Polling is built-in and looks like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible all -B 3600 -P 60 -a "/usr/bin/long_running_operation --do-stuff"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The above example says “run for 60 minutes max (60*60=3600), poll for status every 60 seconds”.
|
|
Poll mode is smart so all jobs will be started before polling will begin on any machine.
|
|
Be sure to use a high enough <cite>–forks</cite> value if you want to get all of your jobs started
|
|
very quickly. After the time limit (in seconds) runs out (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-B</span></tt>), the process on
|
|
the remote nodes will be terminated.</p>
|
|
<p>Any module other than <a class="reference internal" href="modules.html#copy"><em>copy</em></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="modules.html#template"><em>template</em></a> can be
|
|
backgrounded. Typically you’ll be backgrounding long-running
|
|
shell commands or software upgrades only.</p>
