Ansible Utils

Scaffold generator for ansible playbooks

I am using this project to learn ansible so if this project seems very incomplete and at times confusing, it's because it is.

The inspiration is from the cookbook functionality of chef's knife tool.

This is not by any means meant to replace ansible's fantastic ansible-playbook tool

Installation

Install ruby >= v1.9.2

$ gem install ansible_utils

if using rbenv, don't forget to

$ rbenv rehash

Usage

This will install a playbook executable to your path (if you have ruby or your ruby version manager set up correctly)

playbook new

create a new playbook in current, relative or absolute filepath

# new playbook in not yet created "foo" directory
$ playbook new foo

you should see the output

  create  foo
  create  foo/dbservers.yml
  create  foo/group_vars/all
  create  foo/group_vars/atlanta
  create  foo/group_vars/webservers
  create  foo/host_vars/db-bos-1.example.com
  create  foo/production
  create  foo/roles/app/files/bar.txt
  create  foo/roles/app/handlers/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/app/tasks/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/app/templates/noop.conf.j2
  create  foo/roles/app/vars/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/common/files/bar.txt
  create  foo/roles/common/handlers/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/common/tasks/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/common/templates/noop.conf.j2
  create  foo/roles/common/vars/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/monitoring/files/bar.txt
  create  foo/roles/monitoring/handlers/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/monitoring/tasks/main.yml
  create  foo/roles/monitoring/templates/noop.conf.j2
  create  foo/roles/monitoring/vars/main.yml
  create  foo/site.yml
  create  foo/staging
  create  foo/webservers.yml

peep around, some of the files are already filled out for n00bz

playbook role

create a new role scaffold in the current directory's playbook

# create an nginx role in the ./roles directory
$ playbook role nginx

you should see the output

create  roles/nginx
create  roles/nginx/files/bar.txt
create  roles/nginx/handlers/main.yml
create  roles/nginx/tasks/main.yml
create  roles/nginx/templates/noop.conf.j2
create  roles/nginx/vars/main.yml
