host_prototypes

| collection |

creates random mac, password, and ssh keys for cloudinit and stores the facts. can also output the yaml file for inventory.

Usage

create a prototype group and your prototype hosts

• can be your inventory, or any other yaml

• you specify the target path via parameter later

• our dcworkshop1 host has 2 children

  • they are listed in machines
  • the prototype vars get defined in the prototypes group

• in this case those are the vms i used in my anisble playbook als libvirt hosts and created 2 vms on this host

• your prototypes can have additional parameters defined here, they will get copied to the new host that will get created

fire the collection in your ansible playbook

---
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  become: true
  collections:
    - ji_podhead.host_prototypes 
  tasks:
  - name: create the yamls and update the facts
    delegate_to: "localhost"
    import_role: 
      name: ji_podhead.host_prototypes.create_prototypes
    vars:  
        group: 'workshop_machines'
        target_group: 'vms' #optional
        inventory_path:  /home/ji/Dokumente/podshop-org/Pod-Shop-App-Configs/ansible/inventory.yml
        yaml_path: "/home/ji/Dokumente/podshop-org/Pod-Shop-App-Configs/yamlgen" #optional
        store_yaml: "true" #optional

Test and Debug - Output

• to test if your host got created and has all the facts, i added a little debug loop for you, this is what it will look like:

TASK [ji_podhead.host_prototypes.create_prototypes : Debug group facts] ********
