Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy. Avoid writing scripts or custom code to deploy and update your applications — automate in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/

Branko Majic 6ce7448ca4 New module: Add module for manipulating the dconf database (system/dconf) (#23015)
* Implemented dconf module for manipulating and reading the dconf database.

* Fixed remote execution for the dconf module when state=present by wrapping the invocation with dbus-launch (dconf requires a running DBus user session). Updated documentation to mention external module dependencies.

* Fixed remote execution for the dconf module when state=absent by wrapping the invocation with dbus-launch (dconf requires a running DBus user session).

* Updated dconf module implementation to make it more robust:

- Detect running D-Bus session, and reuse that one if possible.
- If detection fails, try launching process via dbus-run-session to avoid
  left-over D-Bus processes.
- As last resort run dbus-launch, and clean-up after the changes have been
  made.
- Updated documentation to mention new dependencies and to be more explicit
  about module limitations.

* Fixed PEP8 errors reported by ansibot in dconf module.

* Updated dconf module implementation:

- Fail early if psutil library is not available on the system.
- Go through all of user's processes to locate a running D-Bus daemon.
- Test potential D-Bus session bus address before deciding to (re)use it.
- Added a couple of debug statements.
- Updated documentation to include dbus-send as requirement.

* Updated dconf module implementation:

- Simplified module, removing all code for handling dbus-daemon, as discussed in
  a community meeting.
- Module user must ensure that D-Bus user session is available and specified
  either via module parameter or environment variable.
- Updated documentation for the change.

* Updated dconf module implementation:

- Add back ability to detect running D-Bus user session.
- Fail-back to using dbus-run-session if running session could not be detected.

* PEP8 fix for dconf module.

* Updated dconf module implementation:

- Introduce correct examples for Gnome DE.
- Rename existing examples to mark them as Cinnamon-specific.
- Use self.module.get_bin_path instead of custom check for dbus-run-session.
- Fixed typo in method documentation for DconfPreference.reset().

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.

Read the documentation and more at https://ansible.com/

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.

You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms.

Design Principles

  • Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
  • Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
  • Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon
  • Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly
  • Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
  • Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software
  • Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
  • Be usable as non-root
  • Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.

Get Involved

  • Read Community Information for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
  • All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use git rebase vs git merge for this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
  • Users list: ansible-project
  • Development list: ansible-devel
  • Announcement list: ansible-announce - read only
  • irc.freenode.net: #ansible

Branch Info

  • Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0 were named after Van Halen songs.)
  • The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
  • For releases 1.8 - 2.2, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow core and extras
  • Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
  • We'd love to have your contributions, read Community Information for notes on how to get started.
