Merging lists of dictionaries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
.. code-block:: yaml
{{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml')|indent(2) }}
{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
{{ i.label }}
.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
{{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
{% endfor %}
.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
{% for i in examples[2:4] %}
{{ i.label }}
.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
{{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
{% endfor %}
The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
**recursive**
Is a boolean, default to ``False``. Should the ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
**list_merge**
Is a string, its possible values are ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
Let us use the lists below in the following examples
.. code-block:: yaml
{{ lookup('file', 'default-recursive-true.yml')|indent(2) }}
{% for i in examples[4:16] %}
{{ i.label }}
.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
{{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
{% endfor %}

Counting elements in a sequence
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The :ansplugin:`community.general.counter filter plugin <community.general.counter#filter>` allows you to count (hashable) elements in a sequence. Elements are returned as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Count character occurrences in a string
debug:
msg: "{{ 'abccbaabca' | community.general.counter }}"
- name: Count items in a list
debug:
msg: "{{ ['car', 'car', 'bike', 'plane', 'bike'] | community.general.counter }}"
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Count character occurrences in a string] ********************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"a": 4,
"b": 3,
"c": 3
}
}
TASK [Count items in a list] **************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"bike": 2,
"car": 2,
"plane": 1
}
}
This plugin is useful for selecting resources based on current allocation:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Get ID of SCSI controller(s) with less than 4 disks attached and choose the one with the least disks
debug:
msg: >-
{{
( disks | dict2items | map(attribute='value.adapter') | list
| community.general.counter | dict2items
| rejectattr('value', '>=', 4) | sort(attribute='value') | first
).key
}}
vars:
disks:
sda:
adapter: scsi_1
sdb:

sdc:
adapter: scsi_1
sdd:
adapter: scsi_1
sde:
adapter: scsi_2
sdf:
adapter: scsi_3
sdg:

This produces:

Dictionaries
^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.dict_kv filter <community.general.dict_kv#filter>` to create a single-entry dictionary with ``value | community.general.dict_kv(key)``:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Create a single-entry dictionary
debug:
msg: "{{ myvar | community.general.dict_kv('thatsmyvar') }}"
vars:
myvar: myvalue
- name: Create a list of dictionaries where the 'server' field is taken from a list
debug:
msg: >-
{{ myservers | map('community.general.dict_kv', 'server')
| map('combine', common_config) }}
vars:
common_config:
type: host
database: all
myservers:
- server1
- server2
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Create a single-entry dictionary] **************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"thatsmyvar": "myvalue"
}
}
TASK [Create a list of dictionaries where the 'server' field is taken from a list] *******
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
{
"database": "all",
"server": "server1",
"type": "host"
},
{
"database": "all",
"server": "server2",
"type": "host"
}
]
}
.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
If you need to convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary, you can use the ``dict`` function. Unfortunately, this function cannot be used with ``map``. For this, the :ansplugin:`community.general.dict filter <community.general.dict#filter>` can be used:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Create a dictionary with the dict function
debug:
msg: "{{ dict([[1, 2], ['a', 'b']]) }}"
- name: Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter
debug:
msg: "{{ [[1, 2], ['a', 'b']] | community.general.dict }}"
- name: Create a list of dictionaries with map and the community.general.dict filter
debug:
msg: >-
{{ values | map('zip', ['k1', 'k2', 'k3'])
| map('map', 'reverse')
| map('community.general.dict') }}
vars:
values:
- - foo
- 23
- a
- - bar
- 42
- b
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Create a dictionary with the dict function] ****************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"1": 2,
"a": "b"
}
}
TASK [Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter] ************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {

}
}

"k2": 23,
"k3": "a"
},
{
"k1": "bar",
"k2": 42,
"k3": "b"
}
]
}
.. versionadded:: 3.0.0

Grouping
^^^^^^^^
If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.groupby_as_dict filter <community.general.groupby_as_dict#filter>` to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
debug:
var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')
- name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point
debug:
var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('mount')
This produces:

Merging lists of dictionaries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby filter <community.general.lists_mergeby#filter>`.
.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
.. code-block:: yaml
list1:
- name: foo
extra: true
- name: bar
extra: false
- name: meh
extra: true
list2:
- name: foo
path: /foo
- name: baz
path: /baz
In the example below the lists are merged by the attribute ``name``:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
list3: "{{ list1|
community.general.lists_mergeby(list2, 'name') }}"
This produces:
.. code-block:: yaml
list3:
- extra: false
name: bar
- name: baz
path: /baz
- extra: true
name: foo
path: /foo
- extra: true
name: meh
.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
It is possible to use a list of lists as an input of the filter:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
community.general.lists_mergeby('name') }}"
This produces the same result as in the previous example:
.. code-block:: yaml
list3:
- extra: false
name: bar
- name: baz
path: /baz
- extra: true
name: foo
path: /foo
- extra: true
name: meh
The filter also accepts two optional parameters: :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive` and :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
**recursive**
Is a boolean, default to ``false``. Should the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` filter recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
**list_merge**
Is a string, its possible values are :ansval:`replace` (default), :ansval:`keep`, :ansval:`append`, :ansval:`prepend`, :ansval:`append_rp` or :ansval:`prepend_rp`. It modifies the behaviour of :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
The examples below set :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive=true` and display the differences among all six options of :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.combine#filter`. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
Let us use the lists below in the following examples
.. code-block:: yaml
list1:
- name: myname01
param01:
x: default_value
y: default_value
list:
- default_value
- name: myname02
param01: [1, 1, 2, 3]
list2:
- name: myname01
param01:
y: patch_value
z: patch_value
list:
- patch_value
- name: myname02
param01: [3, 4, 4, {key: value}]
Example :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge=replace` (default):
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
community.general.lists_mergeby('name',
recursive=true) }}"
This produces:
.. code-block:: yaml
list3:
- name: myname01
param01:
list:
- patch_value
x: default_value
y: patch_value
z: patch_value
- name: myname02
param01:
- 3
- 4
- 4
- key: value
Example :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge=keep`:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
community.general.lists_mergeby('name',
recursive=true,
list_merge='keep') }}"
This produces:

- default_value
x: default_value
y: patch_value
z: patch_value
- name: myname02
param01:
- 1

Conversions
-----------
Parsing CSV files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ansible offers the :ansplugin:`community.general.read_csv module <community.general.read_csv#module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the :ansplugin:`community.general.from_csv filter <community.general.from_csv#filter>` exists.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: "Parse CSV from string"
debug:
msg: "{{ csv_string | community.general.from_csv }}"
vars:
csv_string: |
foo,bar,baz
1,2,3
you,this,then
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Parse CSV from string] **************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
{
"bar": "2",
"baz": "3",
"foo": "1"
},
{
"bar": "this",
"baz": "then",
"foo": "you"
}
]
}
The :ansplugin:`community.general.from_csv filter <community.general.from_csv#filter>` has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.
.. versionadded: 3.0.0
Converting to JSON
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`JC <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ is a CLI tool and Python library which allows to interpret output of various CLI programs as JSON. It is also available as a filter in community.general, called :ansplugin:`community.general.jc#filter`. This filter needs the `jc Python library <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ installed on the controller.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Run 'ls' to list files in /
command: ls /
register: result
- name: Parse the ls output
debug:
msg: "{{ result.stdout | community.general.jc('ls') }}"
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output

Creating identifiers
--------------------
The following filters allow to create identifiers.
Hashids
^^^^^^^
`Hashids <https://hashids.org/>`_ allow to convert sequences of integers to short unique string identifiers. The :ansplugin:`community.general.hashids_encode#filter` and :ansplugin:`community.general.hashids_decode#filter` filters need the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: "Create hashid"
debug:
msg: "{{ [1234, 5, 6] | community.general.hashids_encode }}"
- name: "Decode hashid"
debug:
msg: "{{ 'jm2Cytn' | community.general.hashids_decode }}"
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Create hashid] **********************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "jm2Cytn"
}
TASK [Decode hashid] **********************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
1234,
5,
6
]
}
The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:
:salt: String to use as salt when hashing.
:alphabet: String of 16 or more unique characters to produce a hash.
:min_length: Minimum length of hash produced.
.. versionadded: 3.0.0
Random MACs
^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.random_mac filter <community.general.random_mac#filter>` to complete a partial `MAC address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ to a random 6-byte MAC address.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: "Create a random MAC starting with ff:"
debug:
msg: "{{ 'FF' | community.general.random_mac }}"
- name: "Create a random MAC starting with 00:11:22:"
debug:
msg: "{{ '00:11:22' | community.general.random_mac }}"
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Create a random MAC starting with ff:] **********************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "ff:69:d3:78:7f:b4"
}
TASK [Create a random MAC starting with 00:11:22:] ****************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "00:11:22:71:5d:3b"
}
You can also initialize the random number generator from a seed to create random-but-idempotent MAC addresses:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
"{{ '52:54:00' | community.general.random_mac(seed=inventory_hostname) }}"

Paths
-----
The :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.path_join filter <ansible.builtin.path_join#filter>` has been added in ansible-base 2.10. Community.general 3.0.0 and newer contains an alias ``community.general.path_join`` for this filter that could be used on Ansible 2.9 as well. Since community.general no longer supports Ansible 2.9, this is now a simple redirect to :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.path_join filter <ansible.builtin.path_join#filter>`.

Selecting JSON data: JSON queries
---------------------------------
To select a single element or a data subset from a complex data structure in JSON format (for example, Ansible facts), use the :ansplugin:`community.general.json_query filter <community.general.json_query#filter>`. The :ansplugin:`community.general.json_query#filter` filter lets you query a complex JSON structure and iterate over it using a loop structure.
.. note:: You must manually install the **jmespath** dependency on the Ansible controller before using this filter. This filter is built upon **jmespath**, and you can use the same syntax. For examples, see `jmespath examples <http://jmespath.org/examples.html>`_.
Consider this data structure:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
{
"domain_definition": {
"domain": {
"cluster": [
{
"name": "cluster1"
},
{
"name": "cluster2"
}
],
"server": [
{
"name": "server11",
"cluster": "cluster1",
"port": "8080"
},
{
"name": "server12",
"cluster": "cluster1",
"port": "8090"
},
{
"name": "server21",
"cluster": "cluster2",
"port": "9080"
},
{
"name": "server22",
"cluster": "cluster2",
"port": "9090"
}
],
"library": [
{
"name": "lib1",
"target": "cluster1"
},
{
"name": "lib2",
"target": "cluster2"
}
]
}
}
}
To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all cluster names
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
To extract all server names:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all server names
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
To extract ports from cluster1:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all ports from cluster1
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
vars:
server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all ports from cluster1
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
vars:
server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster2'].{name: name, port: port}"
To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all ports from cluster1
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
vars:
server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Display all ports from cluster1
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
vars:
server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use ``to_json | from_json`` filter for correct parsing of data structure.

Working with times
------------------
The :ansplugin:`community.general.to_time_unit filter <community.general.to_time_unit#filter>` allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like :ansplugin:`community.general.to_hours#filter`, :ansplugin:`community.general.to_minutes#filter`, :ansplugin:`community.general.to_seconds#filter`, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
.. list-table:: Units
:widths: 25 25 25 25
:header-rows: 1
* - Unit name
- Unit value in seconds
- Unit strings for filter
- Shorthand filter
* - Millisecond
- 1/1000 second
- ``ms``, ``millisecond``, ``milliseconds``, ``msec``, ``msecs``, ``msecond``, ``mseconds``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_milliseconds#filter`
* - Second
- 1 second
- ``s``, ``sec``, ``secs``, ``second``, ``seconds``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_seconds#filter`
* - Minute
- 60 seconds
- ``m``, ``min``, ``mins``, ``minute``, ``minutes``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_minutes#filter`
* - Hour
- 60*60 seconds
- ``h``, ``hour``, ``hours``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_hours#filter`
* - Day
- 24*60*60 seconds
- ``d``, ``day``, ``days``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_days#filter`
* - Week
- 7*24*60*60 seconds
- ``w``, ``week``, ``weeks``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_weeks#filter`
* - Month
- 30*24*60*60 seconds
- ``mo``, ``month``, ``months``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_months#filter`
* - Year
- 365*24*60*60 seconds
- ``y``, ``year``, ``years``
- :ansplugin:`community.general.to_years#filter`
Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to :ansplugin:`community.general.to_time_unit#filter` and to all shorthand filters.

Working with Unicode
---------------------
`Unicode <https://unicode.org/main.html>`_ makes it possible to produce two strings which may be visually equivalent, but are comprised of distinctly different characters/character sequences. To address this Unicode defines `normalization forms <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ which avoid these distinctions by choosing a unique character sequence for a given visual representation.
You can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.unicode_normalize filter <community.general.unicode_normalize#filter>` to normalize Unicode strings within your playbooks.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Compare Unicode representations
debug:
msg: "{{ with_combining_character | community.general.unicode_normalize == without_combining_character }}"
vars:
with_combining_character: "{{ 'Mayagu\u0308ez' }}"
without_combining_character: Mayagüez
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
TASK [Compare Unicode representations] ********************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": true
}
The :ansplugin:`community.general.unicode_normalize filter <community.general.unicode_normalize#filter>` accepts a keyword argument :ansopt:`community.general.unicode_normalize#filter:form` to select the Unicode form used to normalize the input string.
:form: One of ``'NFC'`` (default), ``'NFD'``, ``'NFKC'``, or ``'NFKD'``. See the `Unicode reference <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ for more information.

Working with versions
---------------------
If you need to sort a list of version numbers, the Jinja ``sort`` filter is problematic. Since it sorts lexicographically, ``2.10`` will come before ``2.9``.

Alibaba Cloud Compute Services Guide
====================================
Introduction
````````````
The community.general collection contains several modules for controlling and managing Alibaba Cloud Compute Services (Alicloud). This guide
explains how to use the Alicloud Ansible modules together.
All Alicloud modules require ``footmark`` - install it on your control machine with ``pip install footmark``.
Cloud modules, including Alicloud modules, are usually executed on your local machine (the control machine) with ``connection: local``, rather than on remote machines defined in your hosts.
Normally, you'll use the following pattern for plays that provision Alicloud resources:
.. code-block:: yaml
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars:
- ...
tasks:
- ...
Authentication
``````````````
You can specify your Alicloud authentication credentials (access key and secret key) by passing them as
environment variables or by storing them in a vars file.
To pass authentication credentials as environment variables:
.. code-block:: console
export ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY='Alicloud123'
export ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY='AlicloudSecret123'
To store authentication credentials in a vars file, encrypt them with :ref:`Ansible Vault <vault>` to keep them secure, then list them:
.. code-block:: yaml
---
alicloud_access_key: "--REMOVED--"
alicloud_secret_key: "--REMOVED--"
Note that if you store your credentials in a vars file, you need to refer to them in each Alicloud module. For example:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- community.general.ali_instance:
alicloud_access_key: "{{ alicloud_access_key }}"
alicloud_secret_key: "{{ alicloud_secret_key }}"
image_id: "..."
Provisioning
````````````
Alicloud modules create Alicloud ECS instances (:ansplugin:`community.general.ali_instance#module`) and retrieve information on these (:ansplugin:`community.general.ali_instance_info#module`).
You can use the ``count`` parameter to control the number of resources you create or terminate. For example, if you want exactly 5 instances tagged ``NewECS``, set the ``count`` of instances to 5 and the ``count_tag`` to ``NewECS``, as shown in the last task of the example playbook below. If there are no instances with the tag ``NewECS``, the task creates 5 new instances. If there are 2 instances with that tag, the task creates 3 more. If there are 8 instances with that tag, the task terminates 3 of those instances.
If you do not specify a ``count_tag``, the task creates the number of instances you specify in ``count`` with the ``instance_name`` you provide.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
# alicloud_setup.yml
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Create a set of instances
community.general.ali_instance:
instance_type: ecs.n4.small
image_id: "{{ ami_id }}"
instance_name: "My-new-instance"
instance_tags:
Name: NewECS
Version: 0.0.1
count: 5
count_tag:
Name: NewECS
allocate_public_ip: true
max_bandwidth_out: 50
register: create_instance
In the example playbook above, data about the instances created by this playbook is saved in the variable defined by the ``register`` keyword in the task.
Each Alicloud module offers a variety of parameter options. Not all options are demonstrated in the above example. See each individual module for further details and examples.

Introduction
============
Online is a French hosting company mainly known for providing bare-metal servers named Dedibox.
Check it out: `https://www.online.net/en <https://www.online.net/en>`_
Dynamic inventory for Online resources
--------------------------------------
Ansible has a dynamic inventory plugin that can list your resources.
1. Create a YAML configuration such as ``online_inventory.yml`` with this content:
.. code-block:: yaml
plugin: community.general.online
2. Set your ``ONLINE_TOKEN`` environment variable with your token.
You need to open an account and log into it before you can get a token.
You can find your token at the following page: `https://console.online.net/en/api/access <https://console.online.net/en/api/access>`_
3. You can test that your inventory is working by running:
.. code-block:: console
$ ansible-inventory -v -i online_inventory.yml --list
4. Now you can run your playbook or any other module with this inventory:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
$ ansible all -i online_inventory.yml -m ping
sd-96735 | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}

**********************************
Packet.net Guide
**********************************
Introduction
============
`Packet.net <https://packet.net>`_ is a bare metal infrastructure host that is supported by the community.general collection through six cloud modules. The six modules are:
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_device#module`: manages servers on Packet. You can use this module to create, restart and delete devices.
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_ip_subnet#module`: assign IP subnet to a bare metal server
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_project#module`: create/delete a project in Packet host
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_sshkey#module`: adds a public SSH key from file or value to the Packet infrastructure. Every subsequently-created device will have this public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys.
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_volume#module`: create/delete a volume in Packet host
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_volume_attachment#module`: attach/detach a volume to a device in the Packet host
Note, this guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works. If you are not, have a look at their :ref:`docs <ansible_documentation>` before getting started.
Requirements
============
The Packet modules connect to the Packet API using the `packet-python package <https://pypi.org/project/packet-python/>`_. You can install it with pip:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install packet-python
In order to check the state of devices created by Ansible on Packet, it is a good idea to install one of the `Packet CLI clients <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_. Otherwise you can check them through the `Packet portal <https://app.packet.net/portal>`_.
To use the modules you will need a Packet API token. You can generate an API token through the Packet portal `here <https://app.packet.net/portal#/api-keys>`__. The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Packet API token in an environment variable:
.. code-block:: console
$ export PACKET_API_TOKEN=Bfse9F24SFtfs423Gsd3ifGsd43sSdfs
If you are not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules.
On Packet, devices and reserved IP addresses belong to `projects <https://www.packet.com/developers/api/#projects>`_. In order to use the packet_device module, you need to specify the UUID of the project in which you want to create or manage devices. You can find a project's UUID in the Packet portal `here <https://app.packet.net/portal#/projects/list/table/>`_ (it is just under the project table) or through one of the available `CLIs <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_.
If you want to use a new SSH key pair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
.. code-block:: console
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
If you want to use an existing key pair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
Device Creation
===============
The following code block is a simple playbook that creates one `Type 0 <https://www.packet.com/cloud/servers/t1-small/>`_ server (the ``plan`` parameter). You have to supply ``plan`` and ``operating_system``. ``location`` defaults to ``ewr1`` (Parsippany, NJ). You can find all the possible values for the parameters through a `CLI client <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
# playbook_create.yml
- name: Create Ubuntu device
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- community.general.packet_sshkey:
key_file: ./id_rsa.pub
label: tutorial key
- community.general.packet_device:
project_id: <your_project_id>
hostnames: myserver
operating_system: ubuntu_16_04
plan: baremetal_0
facility: sjc1
After running ``ansible-playbook playbook_create.yml``, you should have a server provisioned on Packet. You can verify through a CLI or in the `Packet portal <https://app.packet.net/portal#/projects/list/table>`__.
If you get an error with the message "failed to set machine state present, error: Error 404: Not Found", please verify your project UUID.
Updating Devices
================
The two parameters used to uniquely identify Packet devices are: "device_ids" and "hostnames". Both parameters accept either a single string (later converted to a one-element list), or a list of strings.
The ``device_ids`` and ``hostnames`` parameters are mutually exclusive. The following values are all acceptable:
- device_ids: ``a27b7a83-fc93-435b-a128-47a5b04f2dcf``
- hostnames: ``mydev1``
- device_ids: ``[a27b7a83-fc93-435b-a128-47a5b04f2dcf, 4887130f-0ccd-49a0-99b0-323c1ceb527b]``
- hostnames: ``[mydev1, mydev2]``
In addition, hostnames can contain a special ``%d`` formatter along with a ``count`` parameter that lets you easily expand hostnames that follow a simple name and number pattern; in other words, ``hostnames: "mydev%d", count: 2`` will expand to [mydev1, mydev2].
If your playbook acts on existing Packet devices, you can only pass the ``hostname`` and ``device_ids`` parameters. The following playbook shows how you can reboot a specific Packet device by setting the ``hostname`` parameter:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
# playbook_reboot.yml
- name: reboot myserver
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- community.general.packet_device:
project_id: <your_project_id>
hostnames: myserver
state: rebooted
You can also identify specific Packet devices with the ``device_ids`` parameter. The device's UUID can be found in the `Packet Portal <https://app.packet.net/portal>`_ or by using a `CLI <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_. The following playbook removes a Packet device using the ``device_ids`` field:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
# playbook_remove.yml
- name: remove a device
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- community.general.packet_device:
project_id: <your_project_id>
device_ids: <myserver_device_id>
state: absent
More Complex Playbooks
======================
In this example, we will create a CoreOS cluster with `user data <https://packet.com/developers/docs/servers/key-features/user-data/>`_.
The CoreOS cluster will use `etcd <https://etcd.io/>`_ for discovery of other servers in the cluster. Before provisioning your servers, you will need to generate a discovery token for your cluster:
.. code-block:: console
$ curl -w "\n" 'https://discovery.etcd.io/new?size=3'
The following playbook will create an SSH key, 3 Packet servers, and then wait until SSH is ready (or until 5 minutes passed). Make sure to substitute the discovery token URL in ``user_data``, and the ``project_id`` before running ``ansible-playbook``. Also, feel free to change ``plan`` and ``facility``.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
# playbook_coreos.yml
- name: Start 3 CoreOS nodes in Packet and wait until SSH is ready
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- community.general.packet_sshkey:
key_file: ./id_rsa.pub
label: new
- community.general.packet_device:
hostnames: [coreos-one, coreos-two, coreos-three]
operating_system: coreos_beta
plan: baremetal_0
facility: ewr1
project_id: <your_project_id>
wait_for_public_IPv: 4
user_data: |
#cloud-config
coreos:
etcd2:
discovery: https://discovery.etcd.io/<token>
advertise-client-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2379,http://$private_ipv4:4001
initial-advertise-peer-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2380
listen-client-urls: http://0.0.0.0:2379,http://0.0.0.0:4001
listen-peer-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2380
fleet:
public-ip: $private_ipv4
units:
- name: etcd2.service
command: start
- name: fleet.service
command: start
register: newhosts
- name: wait for ssh
ansible.builtin.wait_for:
delay: 1
host: "{{ item.public_ipv4 }}"
port: 22
state: started
timeout: 500
loop: "{{ newhosts.results[0].devices }}"
As with most Ansible modules, the default states of the Packet modules are idempotent, meaning the resources in your project will remain the same after re-runs of a playbook. Thus, we can keep the ``packet_sshkey`` module call in our playbook. If the public key is already in your Packet account, the call will have no effect.
The second module call provisions 3 Packet Type 0 (specified using the ``plan`` parameter) servers in the project identified by the ``project_id`` parameter. The servers are all provisioned with CoreOS beta (the ``operating_system`` parameter) and are customized with cloud-config user data passed to the ``user_data`` parameter.
The ``packet_device`` module has a ``wait_for_public_IPv`` that is used to specify the version of the IP address to wait for (valid values are ``4`` or ``6`` for IPv4 or IPv6). If specified, Ansible will wait until the GET API call for a device contains an Internet-routeable IP address of the specified version. When referring to an IP address of a created device in subsequent module calls, it is wise to use the ``wait_for_public_IPv`` parameter, or ``state: active`` in the packet_device module call.
Run the playbook:
.. code-block:: console
$ ansible-playbook playbook_coreos.yml
Once the playbook quits, your new devices should be reachable through SSH. Try to connect to one and check if etcd has started properly:
.. code-block:: console
tomk@work $ ssh -i id_rsa core@$one_of_the_servers_ip
core@coreos-one ~ $ etcdctl cluster-health
If you have any questions or comments let us know! help@packet.net

.. note::
This guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works.
If you are not, have a look at :ref:`ansible_documentation` before getting started.
Requirements
============
The Scaleway modules and inventory script connect to the Scaleway API using `Scaleway REST API <https://developer.scaleway.com>`_.
To use the modules and inventory script you will need a Scaleway API token.
You can generate an API token through the `Scaleway console's credential page <https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/credentials>`__.
The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Scaleway API token in an environment variable:
.. code-block:: console
$ export SCW_TOKEN=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
If you are not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules using the ``api_token`` argument.
If you want to use a new SSH key pair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
.. code-block:: console
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
If you want to use an existing key pair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
How to add an SSH key?
======================
Connection to Scaleway Compute nodes use Secure Shell.
SSH keys are stored at the account level, which means that you can reuse the same SSH key in multiple nodes.
The first step to configure Scaleway compute resources is to have at least one SSH key configured.
:ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_sshkey#module` is a module that manages SSH keys on your Scaleway account.
You can add an SSH key to your account by including the following task in a playbook:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: "Add SSH key"
community.general.scaleway_sshkey:
ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
state: "present"
The ``ssh_pub_key`` parameter contains your ssh public key as a string. Here is an example inside a playbook:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Test SSH key lifecycle on a Scaleway account
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
environment:
SCW_API_KEY: ""
tasks:
- community.general.scaleway_sshkey:
ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAAB...424242 developer@example.com"
state: present
register: result
- ansible.builtin.assert:
that:
- result is success and result is changed
How to create a compute instance?
=================================
Now that we have an SSH key configured, the next step is to spin up a server!
:ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_compute#module` is a module that can create, update and delete Scaleway compute instances:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Create a server
community.general.scaleway_compute:
name: foobar
state: present
image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
region: ams1
commercial_type: START1-S
Here are the parameter details for the example shown above:
- ``name`` is the name of the instance (the one that will show up in your web console).
- ``image`` is the UUID of the system image you would like to use.
A list of all images is available for each availability zone.
- ``organization`` represents the organization that your account is attached to.
- ``region`` represents the Availability Zone which your instance is in (for this example, ``par1`` and ``ams1``).
- ``commercial_type`` represents the name of the commercial offers.
You can check out the Scaleway pricing page to find which instance is right for you.
Take a look at this short playbook to see a working example using ``scaleway_compute``:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Test compute instance lifecycle on a Scaleway account
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
environment:
SCW_API_KEY: ""
tasks:
- name: Create a server
register: server_creation_task
community.general.scaleway_compute:
name: foobar
state: present
image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
region: ams1
commercial_type: START1-S
wait: true
- ansible.builtin.debug:
var: server_creation_task
- ansible.builtin.assert:
that:
- server_creation_task is success
- server_creation_task is changed
- name: Run it
community.general.scaleway_compute:
name: foobar
state: running
image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
region: ams1
commercial_type: START1-S
wait: true
tags:
- web_server
register: server_run_task
- ansible.builtin.debug:
var: server_run_task
- ansible.builtin.assert:
that:
- server_run_task is success
- server_run_task is changed
Dynamic Inventory Plugin
========================
Ansible ships with :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway#inventory`.
You can now get a complete inventory of your Scaleway resources through this plugin and filter it on
different parameters (``regions`` and ``tags`` are currently supported).
Let us create an example!
Suppose that we want to get all hosts that got the tag web_server.
Create a file named ``scaleway_inventory.yml`` with the following content:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
plugin: community.general.scaleway
regions:
- ams1
- par1
tags:
- web_server
This inventory means that we want all hosts that got the tag ``web_server`` on the zones ``ams1`` and ``par1``.
Once you have configured this file, you can get the information using the following command:
.. code-block:: console
$ ansible-inventory --list -i scaleway_inventory.yml
The output will be:
.. code-block:: json
{
"_meta": {
"hostvars": {
"dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d": {
"ansible_verbosity": 6,
"arch": "x86_64",
"commercial_type": "START1-S",
"hostname": "foobar",
"ipv4": "192.0.2.1",
"organization": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444",
"state": "running",
"tags": [
"web_server"
]
}
}
},
"all": {
"children": [
"ams1",
"par1",
"ungrouped",
"web_server"
]
},
"ams1": {},
"par1": {
"hosts": [
"dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
]
},
"ungrouped": {},
"web_server": {
"hosts": [
"dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
]
}
}
As you can see, we get different groups of hosts.
``par1`` and ``ams1`` are groups based on location.
``web_server`` is a group based on a tag.
In case a filter parameter is not defined, the plugin supposes all values possible are wanted.
This means that for each tag that exists on your Scaleway compute nodes, a group based on each tag will be created.
Scaleway S3 object storage
==========================
`Object Storage <https://www.scaleway.com/object-storage>`_ allows you to store any kind of objects (documents, images, videos, and so on).
As the Scaleway API is S3 compatible, Ansible supports it natively through the amazon.aws modules: :ansplugin:`amazon.aws.s3_bucket#module`, :ansplugin:`amazon.aws.s3_object#module`.
You can find many examples in the `scaleway_s3 integration tests <https://github.com/ansible/ansible-legacy-tests/tree/devel/test/legacy/roles/scaleway_s3>`_.

community.general Test (Plugin) Guide
=====================================
The :ref:`community.general collection <plugins_in_community.general>` offers currently one test plugin.
.. contents:: Topics
Feature Tests
-------------
The :ansplugin:`community.general.a_module test <community.general.a_module#test>` allows to check whether a given string refers to an existing module or action plugin. This can be useful in roles, which can use this to ensure that required modules are present ahead of time.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Make sure that community.aws.route53 is available
assert:
that:
- >
'community.aws.route53' is community.general.a_module
- name: Make sure that community.general.does_not_exist is not a module or action plugin
assert:
that:
- "'community.general.does_not_exist' is not community.general.a_module"
.. versionadded:: 4.0.0
