ansible-exec: A tool to help execute playbooks

[Hagai Kariti]

Hi all

I wrote a little wrapper around ansible-playbook to help make playbooks executable. Thought you'll be interested.

As an interesting sidenote, you can also do this by putting a shebang line in your YAML and making your playbook executable.   (This trick supplied a while ago by Brian Coca)

# /usr/bin/env ansible-playbook

Many of the common options, such as defaults for "-i", can be set in an ~/.ansible.cfg, or /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg.

I do see what you have there with variable syntax around "-e" and other options not defined being fed to -e, though the likely downside of this is typos become variables, which is why we avoid this.

--inventoyr=foo.txt, etc, could accidentally define a variable.

Still, a neat trick.   Thanks for sharing!
