Ansible package with required python modules. No need to install, just download, unpack and use. The main idea of this package is to run Ansible playbooks on local machine.

The distribution contains only ansible-base. The extra dependencies will need to be installed manually.

All notable changes to this project are documented in the file CHANGELOG.md

Latest version of portable-ansible tarball (.tar.bz2) is available on Releases page https://github.com/ownport/portable-ansible/releases

wget https://github.com/ownport/portable-ansible/releases/download/<version>/portable-ansible-<version>-py3.tar.bz2 \
      -O ansible.tar.bz2

tar -xjf ansible.tar.bz2

python3 ansible localhost -m ping
 [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available

localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

If you need to run ansible playbooks, after having extracted the tarball contents run next commands to create aliases to portable ansible directory. In the examples below portable-ansible installed in /opt directory

python3 ansible-playbook playbook.yml

To have all the ansible commands, run:

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

Install python packages into ansible/extras directory

pip3 install -t ansible/extras <package>

or

pip3 install -t ansible/extras -r requirements.txt

Instead of installing the python packages to ansible/extras, you can also install them in user directory to be available for ansible:

pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
