packer ansible provisioner host_vars groups_vars

[Matthieu Dolci]

Hello,

I am having issues with packer and the remote ansible provisioner. Packer doesnt seems to take the variables in the different groups_vars and in host_vars. Here is  the layout of the all project:

ansible

     |------Infrastructure.Analytics # submodule

                                           |-------groups_vars

                                                          |-----all

                                                          |-----db

                                           |-------host_vars

                                                          |-----packer-postgresql

                                           |-------postgresql.yml

packer.json

the provisioner looks like this:

      "type": "ansible",

      "extra_arguments": ["-b","--become-method=sudo","--vault-password-file=~/.vault_pass.txt"],

      "playbook_file": "ansible/Infrastructure.Analytics/postgresql.yml",

      "groups": ["all","db","postgresql","development","tag_Application_Service_PostgreSQL","packer-postgresql"],

      "host_alias": "packer-postgresql"

    },

How can i make packer use those variables?

Cheers

Hi Tony,

Unfortunately i do work for the company i was working for at the time of those messages and therefore don't have the json file

Thanks for answer. But you have had success in using host_vars and group_vars in ansible provisioner at packer script?
