which i'd love to see change 🙏 regards

Can you include this collection in the portable zip?

Hi!
For ansible portable version 0.5 for python 3 when I run ansibe-pull like:
/usr/bin/python /opt/ent/bin/ansiblePortable/py3/ansible-pull --url https://git_repo --inventory /path_to_inv.py
i get error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/bin/ansiblePortable/py3/ansible-pull/main.py", line 139, in
exit_code = cli.run()
File "/opt/bin/ansiblePortable/py3/ansible/ansible/cli/pull.py", line 241, in run
rc, b_out, b_err = run_cmd(cmd, live=True)
File "/opt/bin/ansiblePortable/py3/ansible/ansible/utils/cmd_functions.py", line 44, in run_cmd
p = subprocess.Popen(cmdargs, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 854, in init
self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 1702, in _execute_child
raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/opt/bin/ansiblePortable/py3/ansible'

I can fix it by adding "cmd = 'python ' + cmd" string in def_run function in ansible/utils/cmd_functions.py like

def run_cmd(cmd, live=False, readsize=10):

    # readsize = 10
    cmd = 'python ' + cmd                                     # <<< THIS STRING
    # On python2, shlex needs byte strings
    if PY2:
         cmd = to_bytes(cmd, errors='surrogate_or_strict')
    cmdargs = shlex.split(cmd)
 
    # subprocess should be passed byte strings.  (on python2.6 it must be
    # passed byte strtings)
    cmdargs = [to_bytes(a, errors='surrogate_or_strict') for a in cmdargs]
 
    p = subprocess.Popen(cmdargs, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

but I think it's need to fix by more proper way.

I followed the instructions, unpacked the tarball, crested the link and run it as:

python ansible-playbook myTest.yml

This results in stack trace:

This test script runs fine in regular ansible.

Any help to make this running?

When trying to use paramiko to get around sshpass issue, I get the following message:

python ansible test -m ping --ask-pass -c paramiko
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: DEFAULT_SUDO_EXE option, In favor of Ansible Become, which is a generic framework. See become_exe. , use become instead. This feature will be removed in version 2.8.
Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.
SSH password:
test | FAILED! => {
"msg": "paramiko is not installed"
}

Greetings,

it is not clear how the release tarball is built with the given Makefile. From what I can see, all that the Makefile builds is a script with an embedded zipfile, that I couldn't get to work...

Hi,

Is it possible to include sshpass as part of the build?

Thank you,

B

Thanks for making ansible portable, very useful.

To make it better, maybe we can release it as a single zip file? That will make it even more portable.

Here is an example article: https://realpython.com/python-zip-import/

Hello,

I try to use ansible-vault , but I have a mysterious problem:

first , I create a symbolic link ansible-vault to ansible

and when I try to encrypt ( or create / edit ) , I get this error,

ansible-vault 2.7.8
  config file = /opt/autom/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /opt/ansible/ansible
  executable location = ansible-vault
  python version = 2.7.5 (default, May 31 2018, 09:41:32) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28)]
Using /opt/autom/ansible.cfg as config file
New Vault password:
Confirm New Vault password:
ERROR! ansible-vault requires either the cryptography library (preferred) or pycrypto in order to function.

Do have a way for fix it pls ?

thanks a lot

More of a query.
I've not come across them at work yet, but they are stubs in portable-ansible 0.5.0

They exists in: ./ansible/bin/ansible-*

There is no code for them in: ./ansible/ansible/cli/.py nor ./opt/ansible/ansible//

If you decide to add them too, then README.md might need an update:

for l in config connection console doc galaxy inventory playbook pull test vault;do
  ln -s ansible ansible-$l
done

To be honest, I'm glad the code is small and lean, and this would kind of add extra size to it.

According to notice

Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. 
Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. 
A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7

there is no need to support py2.7

Hi Ansible guys, I have been using portable-ansible recently without any problem. Until I found a needed parameter of the mysql_user module, which was new in Ansible 2.10.

Do you guys have any plan for Ansible 2.10?

Hi @ownport , Greetings
I was trying out the released (0.3) of the portable ansible. Configured it to use paramiko as the transport , but when executing the playbook it says {"msg": "paramiko is not installed: No module named enum"}

any suggestion would be very helpful.
