local_action using remote file content

[bryan hunt]

Hi there,

It's my intention to write a bitbucket module for Ansible.

The use case is :

Create a local VM using vagrant, provisioned by Ansible.

Using Ansible:

1 Generate a SSH key-pair on that machine.

2 Take the freshly generated Public Key and load it into my Bitbucket account, using the bitbucket-api python module.

3 Check out a bunch of projects that I want R/W access to from within the VM.

Then I vagrant ssh into that box, and profit!

I've got most of the pieces worked out, but have a couple of questions regarding approach.

I'd like to create a proper Ansible module to handle B itb uc ket but for now I'd like to just create a quick script.

I believe local_action is the syntax to use for running commands on my local machine.

Now, I could fetch the ~/.ssh/id_pub.rsa file from the remote VM, and store it on my hard drive somewhere like /tmp/vm.id_pub.rsa,
but ideally I'd like to either pipe it into the script I'm going to write or supply it as a quoted command line argument.

Can this be done (taking the entire contents of a remote file and storing it into a variable) ?

Seeing you said "module", why is the hg module not sufficient for talking to bitbucket?

Not for performing VCS tasks but for talking directly to the bitbucket rest API.

http://restbrowser.bitbucket.org

In order to add the ssh keys from the freshly created VM instance.

POST https://bitbucket.org/api/1.0/users/{accountname}/ssh-keys/

did you write the module?

btw, for cloning it should be enough to support deploy keys.
