rsync is required for the synchronize module.

Hello

I have the latest version of concourse deployed on a Kubernetes cluster without persistence.
(K8s Image: concourse/concourse:7.11.2)
I want to deploy the pipeline via your ansible resource type, through this yaml, with fly:

fly set-pipeline /target test /pipeline ansible-playbook2 /config ./pipeline-ansible2.yaml

resource_types:

• name: ansible
  type: docker-image
  source:
  repository: troykinsella/concourse-ansible-playbook-resource

resources:

• name: ansible
  type: ansible
  source:
  verbose: v

jobs:

• name: ansible-playbook
  plan:
  • get: ansible

fly deployment + resource type check - will be always successful.
But when I check the resource - I always get this error:

fly check-resource /target test /resource:ansible-playbook2/ansible
checking ansible-playbook2/ansible in build 4381
initializing check: ansible
initializing check: ansible
selected worker: concourse-worker-1
version is missing from previous step
version is missing from previous step
errored

I tried setting all possible combinations for version & tag key in source type and source too - no luck.
In your ansible playbook container, I can see that the container is really trying to output the version information:

ansible-test:/opt/resource# ls -all
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 17 18:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jan 17 18:42 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20 Jul 3 2023 check
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jul 3 2023 in
drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 20 19:49 lib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 276 Jul 3 2023 out
ansible-test:/opt/resource# cat in
#!/bin/sh
printf '{"version":{}}'
ansible-test:/opt/resource#

When I try another ansible resource type clone (e.g. - argon/concourse-ansible-playbook-resource) - everything works immediately.
This link also solves something similar - concourse/registry-image-resource#316 - but it didn't help me either.

Pls, where and how should I set it so that the resource type check will be successful?

I am trying this resource type to execute my ansible playbook but every time got the error as private key not found although i have stored private key in vault and even same issue after directly inserting passbook to pipeline . Is there anything else need to be taken care?

The Ansible reboot module fails to acknowledge a host is back up after a successful reboot.

To reproduce we can run the following from within the container:

ansible all -m reboot -i inventory.ini

The same command works outside of this container and inside other containers (though everything else about this resource is better than the others wherein the reboot is working).

/opt/resource/lib/commands/out.rb:82:in `configure_ansible!': undefined method `exists?' for File:Class (NoMethodError)


      if File.exists? ansible_cfg_path

             ^^^^^^^^

Did you mean?  exist?

	from /opt/resource/lib/commands/out.rb:195:in `run!'

	from /opt/resource/lib/commands/out.rb:208:in `<main>'

According to this StackOverflow answer it looks like Ruby 3.2.0 removes some deprecated aliases that need to be updated in this resource (or have a specific Ruby version pinned)

Hi, am i missing something while using this resource is what i am curious about.
Concourse Pipeline:-

resource_types:

• name: ansible-playbook
  type: docker-image

  type: git
  source:
  uri: ((git-repo))
  branch: master
  private_key: ((ssh-key))

jobs:

    diff: true
    become: true
    become_user: root
    inventory: inventory/hosts.yml
    playbook: site.yml
    path: source-code

Ansible Playbook which i am intend to run across Multiple remote system:-

• name: "Running Current Working Directory"
  hosts: test
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

  • name: "Current Working Directory"
    shell: pwd
    register: value

  • debug:
    msg: "The Current Working Directory {{value.stdout_lines}}"

Host.yml under inventory directory:-

all:
hosts:
test:
ansible_connection: ssh
ansible_host: "13.x.x.x"
ansible_port: 22
ansible_user: cloud_user

After having all this i am getting unable to connect via ssh .. I dont know how to proceed from here. Can you help me here please?

Hi,

Seems that the move from Ubuntu to Alpine broke the resource for me... from the looks of it due to a missing gcc.

@troykinsella Just wondering whether you could re-build and release a new version (since it's been > 1 year) so we have a more recent version of ansible? Thanks! ;-)

Hello.
With new release something wrong, because resource doesn't run playbook but return success.
Can you check it, please?
My pipeline config:

resource_types:
  - name: ansible-playbook
    type: docker-image
    source:
      repository: troykinsella/concourse-ansible-playbook-resource
      tag: latest
resources:
  - name: ci-src
    type: git
    icon: github-circle
    source:
      branch: master
      uri: ((git.uri))
      private_key: ((ssh.private_key))

  - name: ansible-playbook
    type: ansible-playbook
    icon: ansible
    source:
      debug: true
      verbose: vvv
      env:
        ANSIBLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS: "False"
      user: root
      ssh_private_key: ((ssh.private_key))
jobs:
  - name: Run playbook
    plan:
      - get: ci-src
      - put: ansible-playbook
        params:
          check: false
          diff: false
          inventory: .ci/ansible/inventory/inventory.yml
          playbook: .ci/ansible/playbook.yml
          path: ci-src
          vars:
            host: test

My playbook (for testing purposes)

- hosts: "{{ host }}"
  gather_facts: no
  become: true
  vars:
    ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
  tasks:
    - name: test latest ansible concourse-ci resource
      shell: echo Successfull! > ~/.test

concourse-ci anisble step log:

ansible-playbook      --extra-vars '{"host":"test"}' -i .ci/ansible/inventory/inventory.yml  --private-key /tmp/ansible-playbook-resource-ssh-private-key   --user root   -vvv .ci/ansible/playbook.yml

Ansible is currently version 2.10, and there are a few forwards-incompatible changes that were made since 2.9. Namely, galaxy collections have a fully qualified module name that is preferred over a name in the global namespace. For example, the docker_container module is now named community.docker.docker_container. Unfortunately, this is not supported in the version shipped in this image, so my playbooks for provisioning the machine, and the playbooks for deploying, have to be written in different syntaxes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the out parameter vars_file is being ignored at the moment. Only vars is used. Am I just missing something?

If that's the case I think it should be either implemented back, or removed from the documentation.

@troykinsella Hello again ;-) Just wondering whether you could re-build and release a new version so we have the option of using the current ansible version (7.x / ansible-core 2.14)?

Haven't explicitly checked whether the new version could introduce problems, but I'm not aware of any. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_7.html

Thanks a lot!

It looks like the behaviour of SSH has changed in the latest image 28239a6eb5b4. It defaults to using IPv6, which causes lookups which were previously working to fail.

A workaround for this issue is to add the following to the source configuration of the resource:

source:
  ssh_common_args: "-4"

It would be great to be able to limit hosts with a limit variable.

Some systems (like network devices) may not use SSH keys for connections, so it would be great to make this parameter optional so that we can use this resource with network devices where SSH key authentication is not available.

Hi,

Which format expects this variable? I'm tried with openssh private key and rsa private key formats without success.

Configuring ssh...

Configuring git...

SSH_ASKPASS=/opt/resource/lib/ssh_askpass.sh DISPLAY= ssh-add /tmp/ansible-playbook-resource-git-private-key

Error loading key "/tmp/ansible-playbook-resource-git-private-key": invalid format

/opt/resource/lib/ssh_config.rb:23:in `ssh_add_key!': ssh-add failed (RuntimeError)

	from /opt/resource/lib/commands/out.rb:68:in `configure_git!'

	from /opt/resource/lib/commands/out.rb:192:in `run!'

	from /opt/resource/lib/commands/out.rb:206:in `<main>'

key example:

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
keykeykye
keykey
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Regards,

It would be great to enable ARA in the resource.

According to e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/manual/html_node/The-_002enetrc-file.html, I gather the format of netrc should be:

"default login #{username} password #{password}\n" instead of

I had errors complaining about a "bad follower token". For my use case, I overwrote the generated netrc with the following, which fixed the problem:

machine github.com login XXX password YYY
default login anonymous password user@site
