An #ansible question: is there a way to test a YAML or JSON path contains a specific value with an ad-hoc command? The lineinfile module seems like a blunt tool for this.
ara 1.7.3 has been released !
It includes some bug fixes as well as brand new features like a built-in auto-refresh and an ara_label #Ansible module.
It is already available on #PyPI and container images as well as the #Fedora package will follow eventually.
Release notes are available in the repository's git tags as well as in the documentation: https://codeberg.org/ansible-community/ara/releases/tag/1.7.3
Enjoy !
Successfully deployed my self-hosted Forgejo actions on a second more powerful host in my home lab.
I have updated my Ansible role to support this feature
Yes!! Success!
Magaged to get fully-automated deployment of FreeBSD VMs on Proxmox VE with cloud-init and static-ip configuration working after quite some troubleshooting.
- hostname, network config, ssh key, local user is all passed to the VM via cloud-init.
- Entire deployment of a FreeBSD VM takes less than 2 minutes until I can SSH in

This summer I got to teach an #ansible workshop. I decided to write on getting set up for it, because it went pretty sideways at the beginning but ended up working out perfectly well.

The latest edition of the #ansible Bullhorn is out! With updates on collections and Ansible releases.
I've just published version 25.7.1 of 'kpfleming.systemd_networkd', my collection of Ansible roles for managing systemd-networkd configuration. New in this release are a half-dozen 'advanced' features in the 'network' role, along with a new 'bridge' role. Most of these changes originated from my recent project to switch to DHCPv6-PD on my home network, and also eliminate the standalone DHCPv4 servers I was using.
If you're an Ansible user and use systemd-networkd on your managed machines, take a look! Here's an example of a moderately-complex configuration:

I've got more complex ones if you're really interested

#Ansible Users: what would you consider 'best practice' ..
* having a dedicated ansible user with a common password, ssh keys and sudo access across systems, or
* just using your own user and giving yourself a common password across systems?
Managing network interfaces with #ansible seem ... kinda jank? What am I missing?
i want to play with something like woodpecker at some point, but now i have made some progress with the existing setup:
* the nvchecker triggerscript (checks for new releases):
* posts to vikunja now (mail+applescript+omnifocus too fragile)
* checks if the updated app is configured as playbook
* runs the matching playbook
* from post_tasks, a conditional webhook is triggered using ansible_play_hosts/ansible_play_hosts_all:

Honestly, I am falling back in love with #Ansible and with the opinionated structure of Robert Dr Bock"s ansible-collection-roles/roles https://share.google/Fg2XolFtA7rS2G5j3
I'm putting my #homelab into code.
What are currently the best #ansible resources to deploy #ceph these days in a fresh env?
There are a lot of outdated or non-collection/role like resources out there, some only have partial "bootstrap" scripts, other say "please install first and the manage via this one".
- cephadm-ansible
- stackhpc/ansible-collection-cephadm
- ceph/ceph.automation
etc.

Avoid shell headaches in Ansible! Use argv in the command module for safer, more predictable automation—no more quoting chaos or shell injection risks.
Learn when (and when *not*) to use it, with real-world examples.
