It is quite possible that you may need to get package updates through a proxy, or even get some package
|
|
updates through a proxy and access other packages not through a proxy. Or maybe a script you might wish to
|
|
call may also need certain environment variables set to run properly.
|
|
|
|
Ansible makes it easy for you to configure your environment by using the 'environment' keyword. Here is an example::
|
|
|
|
- hosts: all
|
|
remote_user: root
|
|
|
|
tasks:
|
|
|
|
- apt: name=cobbler state=installed
|
|
environment:
|
|
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
|
|
|
|
The environment can also be stored in a variable, and accessed like so::
|
|
|
|
- hosts: all
|
|
remote_user: root
|
|
|
|
# here we make a variable named "env" that is a dictionary
|
|
vars:
|
|
proxy_env:
|
|
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
|
|
|
|
tasks:
|
|
|
|
- apt: name=cobbler state=installed
|
|
environment: proxy_env
|
|
|
|
While just proxy settings were shown above, any number of settings can be supplied. The most logical place
|
|
to define an environment hash might be a group_vars file, like so::
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
# file: group_vars/boston
|
|
|
|
ntp_server: ntp.bos.example.com
|
|
backup: bak.bos.example.com
|
|
proxy_env:
|
|
http_proxy: http://proxy.bos.example.com:8080
|
|
https_proxy: http://proxy.bos.example.com:8080
