# Ansible-Proxmox-inventory
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
Proxmox dynamic inventory for Ansible. Based on [original plugin](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/contrib/inventory/proxmox.py) from Mathieu Gauthier-Lafaye
|
|
|
|
Changelog:
|
|
- Added option to ignore invalid SSL certificate (by @bmillemathias) [PR](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/17247)
|
|
- Compatible with a Proxmox cluster (by @xezpeleta)
|
|
- Added group 'running' (by @xezpeleta)
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Download **proxmox.py** to */etc/ansible/* directory:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd /etc/ansible
|
|
sudo wget https://github.com/xezpeleta/Ansible-Proxmox-inventory/raw/master/proxmox.py
|
|
sudo chmod +x proxmox.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's test it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python /etc/ansible/proxmox.py \
|
|
--url=https://<your-proxmox-url>:8006/ \
|
|
--username=<proxmox-username> \
|
|
--password=<proxmox-password> \
|
|
--trust-invalid-certs \
|
|
--list --pretty
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you get a list with all the VM in your Proxmox cluster, everything is ok.
|
|
|
|
I suggest you to use environment variables to store Proxmox credentials:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export PROXMOX_URL=https://10.0.0.1:8006/
|
|
export PROXMOX_USERNAME=apiuser@pve
|
|
export PROXMOX_PASSWORD=apiuser1234
|
|
export PROXMOX_INVALID_CERT=False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
So now you can check it again without credential parameters:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python /etc/ansible/proxmox.py --list --pretty
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you get this working, you can include the dynamic inventory in your ansible commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ansible -i /etc/ansible/proxmox.py ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tricks
|
|
|
|
If you prefer, you can limit the commands to the group "running":
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/proxmox.py --limit 'running' playbook.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Matt Harris, you can use the Notes field in Proxmox to add a host to a group:
|
|
|
|
> Added support for Proxmox VE 4.x
|
|
> Added support for using the Notes field of a VM to define groups and variables:
|
|
> A well-formatted JSON object in the Notes field will be added to the _meta
|
|
> section for that VM. In addition, the "groups" key of this JSON object may be
|
|
> used to specify group membership:
|
|
>
|
|
> { "groups": ["utility", "databases"], "a": false, "b": true }
|
|
|
|
For instance, you can use the following JSON code in a VM host:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "groups": ["windows"] }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
So if you want to exclude Windows machines, you could do the following:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/proxmox.py --limit 'running,!windows' playbook.yml
|
|
```
