guiand888 Hey, the plugin does support composite vars. However I believe the idiomatic way to do what you want is this:

group_vars/
  gp1.yml
  gp2.yml

And then:

# gp1.yml
ansible_user: admin

# gp2.yml
ansible_user: anotheradmin

tuckertt said in XOA receipe not creating VIP address (balancer):

Hi,

Long time user (xcp-ng) first time commentor. I've attempted to use the recipe to deploy k8s, having thought about having a cluster for a while but never had the motivation to look into creating one so the functionality of the recipe sounded awesome. Unfortunately I've hit the same problem by the sounds of it. I can create a single control plane node with workers but when attempting to deploy a more resilient configuration it stops at one node and the screen output reports that cloud-init failed and the logs report it's an issue connecting to the vip by the looks of it. Hopefully it's ok to upload my log in place of igorf's but looking at it it talks about checking the various containers so I did for the vip container and get:

root@cp-1:/home/debian# crictl --runtime-endpoint unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock logs 8f33bda832123

which, although I haven't really touched the stuff so can't be sure looks like it could possibly be to do with https://github.com/kube-vip/kube-vip/issues/684

Hi,

Thank you for the report.
Can you tell us the version of your xoa-server plug-in? This is fixed in 0.29.1, you probably have version 0.29.0 or lower.

With regards,

Hi there. Author of said inventory plugin.

If you ever wish to migrate you should be able to retain most of what you did on XOA side (I'm thinking tags), but you'll have something that's more standard and require less setup as long as the XOA API is accessible to the machine running the playbook.

You can keep the groups with the composable groups in your inventory plugin configuration:

simple_config_file:
    plugin: community.general.xen_orchestra
    api_host: 192.168.1.255
    user: xo
    password: xo_pwd
    validate_certs: true
    use_ssl: true
    groups:
        kube-master: "name_label == 'kube-master'"
    compose:
        ansible_port: 2222

Currently the Kubernetes version list is pulled from:

https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases

Which lists every Kubernetes available releases, but the latest available version for the xenial repo is v1.28.2 as mentioned by typerlc. You can use that while we figure out the best way to fix the issue on our side.
