Ansible dynamic inventory and XO

[kirovtome]

I was just wondering if anyone is using an Ansible dynamic inventory script with XO, could you share it please? I'm trying to save some time not to write my own python script over xo-cli though.

Thanks in advance.

@kirovtome I have found this script https://github.com/vtsingaras/xenorchestra_inventory...

Can you describe a bit more your use case and what do you want to achieve? (functionally speaking)

[luizhpriotto]

@olivierlambert @kirovtome I have created a simple way to return the dynamic inventory to use on Ansible. https://github.com/luizhpriotto/xenorchestra_inventory

I think the https://github.com/vtsingaras/xenorchestra_inventory doesn't work anymore.

Thanks.

I'm not an Ansible expert, what is the purpose of Ansible inventory? What's your use case exactly?

[luizhpriotto]

@olivierlambert in Ansible we have to create a static file with groups and ip of vms to run owner playbooks.

My solution is a simple way to create this file using tags like groups and getting the ip automagically, like this:

[kub] #xo tag
192.168.1.152 #vm ip
192.168.1.42 #vm ip

[worker]
192.168.1.152

[2021.01]
192.168.1.152

[XOA]
192.168.1.152

[master]
192.168.1.4

[olivierlambert]

So your playbook will automatically "sort" VMs category using tags in XO?
