goplay

goplay (simple ansible-playbook wrapper in go)

I wanted to place all the ansible-playbook command line arguments in a config file so that its easy to manage and ended up creating my first go application - goplay.

goplay supports all the ansible-playbook command line options and it can be configured in a single file - play.xml and do "goplay command" - similar to "fig up"

ansible.cfg, inventory, vars, playbook all can be placed in a single file for easy management. Sample play.yml is shown below.

File: play.yml

stack1:
  verbose: vvvv
  user: xyz
  sudo: true
  sudo_user: root
  ask_pass: false
  tags:
    - test
  ansible_cfg: |
    [defaults]
    roles_path = ./roles
  inventory: |
    [all]
    the.host.com
  vars: |
    packer_version: 0.5.2
    vagrant_version: 1.5.2
  playbook: |
    - hosts: "{{ hosts|default('all') }}"
      gather_facts: "{{ gather_facts|default(true) }}"
      roles:
        - packer
        - vagrant
