* Simplify conditional for service_facts integration test This test requires systemd, so just test for that. Also fixes running this on Debian testing/unstable releases, where ansible_distribution_version is "n/a". * Clean up after service_facts integration test * Simplify set_fact in interpreter_discovery_python test Those vars are always set, either to something discovered, or "n/a". There are no evaluations against the value "unknown". * interpreter_discovery_python: Fix Debian test Debian doesn't set VERSION_ID in /etc/os-release on pre-releases, see https://bugs.debian.org/1008735 ansible 2.17 onwards does not support python 2.7 anyway. * fix deb822_repository integration test failure on Debian * Fix integration test hostname for Debian * Fix integration test mount_facts Some VMs might only have a single mount point, so they only have a single UUID. * Add package deps for integration test subversion /usr/bin/htpasswd is shipped in apache2-utils and needed by the main playbook. * Fix integration test "service" on Debian sid Debian sid does not set ansible_distribution_version, as such any tests assuming it's a numeric value will fail. Since this is ancient test code that predates ansible_service_mgr, remove the error-prone heuristic and rely on that var instead. * Fix service integration tests not running on *BSD --------- Co-authored-by: Lee Garrett <lgarrett@rocketjump.eu>
Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. More information on the Ansible website.
Design Principles
- Have an extremely simple setup process with a minimal learning curve.
- Manage machines quickly and in parallel.
- Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon.
- Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly.
- Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content.
- Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software.
- Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python.
- Be usable as non-root.
- Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
Use Ansible
You can install a released version of Ansible with pip or a package manager. See our
installation guide for details on installing Ansible
on a variety of platforms.
Power users and developers can run the devel branch, which has the latest
features and fixes, directly. Although it is reasonably stable, you are more likely to encounter
breaking changes when running the devel branch. We recommend getting involved
in the Ansible community if you want to run the devel branch.
Communication
Join the Ansible forum to ask questions, get help, and interact with the community.
- Get Help: Find help or share your Ansible knowledge to help others.
Use tags to filter and subscribe to posts, such as the following:
- Posts tagged with ansible
- Posts tagged with ansible-core
- Posts tagged with playbook
- Social Spaces: Meet and interact with fellow enthusiasts.
- News & Announcements: Track project-wide announcements including social events.
- Bullhorn newsletter: Get release announcements and important changes.
For more ways to get in touch, see Communicating with the Ansible community.
Contribute to Ansible
- Check out the Contributor's Guide.
- Read Community Information for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
- Submit a proposed code update through a pull request to the
develbranch. - Talk to us before making larger changes to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what is going on, but it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
Coding Guidelines
We document our Coding Guidelines in the Developer Guide. We particularly suggest you review:
Branch Info
- The
develbranch corresponds to the release actively under development. - The
stable-2.Xbranches correspond to stable releases. - Create a branch based on
develand set up a dev environment if you want to open a PR. - See the Ansible release and maintenance page for information about active branches.
Roadmap
Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.7, 2.8). The Ansible Roadmap page details what is planned and how to influence the roadmap.
