# it is possible to ask for variables from the user at the start
# of a playbook run, for example, as part of a release script.
- hosts: all
user: root
# regular variables are a dictionary of keys and values
vars:
this_is_a_regular_var: 'moo'
so_is_this: 'quack'
# alternatively, they can ALSO be passed in from the outside:
# ansible-playbook foo.yml --extra-vars="foo=100 bar=101"
# or through external inventory scripts (see online API docs)
# here's basic mode prompting. Specify a hash of variable names and a prompt for
# each.
#
# vars_prompt:
# release_version: "product release version"
# prompts can also be specified like this, allowing for hiding the prompt as
# entered. In the future, this may also be used to support crypted variables
vars_prompt:
- name: "some_password"
prompt: "Enter password"
private: True
- name: "release_version"
prompt: "Product release version"
private: False
- name: "my_password2"
prompt: "Enter password2"
private: True
encrypt: "md5_crypt"
confirm: True
salt_size: 7
salt: "foo"
# this is just a simple example to show that vars_prompt works, but
# you might ask for a tag to use with the git module or perhaps
# a package version to use with the yum module.
tasks:
- name: imagine this did something interesting with $release_version
action: shell echo foo >> /tmp/$release_version-$alpha
- name: look we crypted a password
action: shell echo my password is $my_password2
