Ansible supports a few ways of providing configuration variables, mainly through environment variables, command line switches and an ini file `ansible.cfg`.
|
|
|
|
Starting at Ansible 2.4 the `ansible-config` utility allows users to see all the configuration settings available, their defaults, how to set them and
|
|
where their current value comes from. See :doc:ansible-config for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration file
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Changes can be made and used in a configuration file which will be searched for in the following order::
|
|
|
|
* ANSIBLE_CONFIG (environment variable if set)
|
|
* ansible.cfg (in the current directory)
|
|
* ~/.ansible.cfg (in the home directory)
|
|
* /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
|
|
|
|
Ansible will process the above list and use the first file found, all others are ignored.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Comments
|
|
The configuration file is one variant of an INI format.
|
|
Both the hash sign ("#") and semicolon (";") are allowed as
|
|
comment markers when the comment starts the line.
|
|
However, if the comment is inline with regular values,
|
|
only the semicolon is allowed to introduce the comment.
|
|
For instance::
|
|
|
|
# some basic default values...
|
|
inventory = /etc/ansible/hosts ; This points to the file that lists your hosts
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common Options
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
This is a copy of the options available from our release, your local install might have extra options due to additional plugins,
|
|
you can use the command line utility mentioned above (`ansible-config`) to browse through those.
