galaxy alike server for private roles

[Javier Palacios]

As I wanted to be able to easily install roles that couldn't be available through galaxy on single public github repos, and as I didn't find any tool capable of that, I've written one myself. It is available at https://github.com/javiplx/ansible-library/ and it is a minimal implementation of the galaxy API capable to install roles (this is, 'ansible-galaxy install xxx' works against it).

It will not work wit stock ansible but needs small patches both for 2.x (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/14779) and 1.x (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/14780), which I've just submitted as pull requests.

Hi Javier,

Galaxy should work with your own repos:

The secret sauce is in the requirements.yml file.

I've seen that article, but requirements file will only work if I have one repo with one role on the top level. Currently I have one repo with multiple generic roles (not in toplevel) and also some roles included in the same repo than the code they deploy (also out of top level). The first one could be splited to match standards, but not the second. And I still have the issue that, as they are in private repositories, I need to arrange permission to clone/download.
