Ansible Atlassian BambooAgent DMG Install Role

This role installs the contents of a DMG file on a remote machine running OSX.

Currently, this is set up as a role, but it could simply be a detailed command. Here’s what this role does:

• Copies a DMG file to the target machine.
• Makes any necessary changes to automate the process (e.g., some DMGs need manual actions, which this role eliminates).
• Mounts the DMG to a temporary location.
• Runs the installation command.
• Unmounts and removes any temporary files (like the modified DMG).

Requirements

You only need a target machine running OSX.

Role Variables

Format of dmg_to_install

The dmg_to_install is a dictionary with these fields:

During installation, ${mount} is replaced with the actual location where the DMG is mounted (see the example below).

Dependencies

There are no additional dependencies.

Example Playbook

Here’s an example of how to install XCode command line tools:

# Installs OSX command line tools
# fixes the paths on the fly
- role: ansible-atlassian-bambooagent-install-dmg-role
  dmg_to_install:
    - "{{ bamboo_xcode }}"
  when:
    - ansible_distribution == "MacOSX"
    - xcode_version_installed | version_compare('%d.%d' % (bamboo_xcode.version.major, bamboo_xcode.version.minor), '<')

The bamboo_xcode variable looks like this:

bamboo_xcode:
  file: 'commandlinetoolsosx10.10forxcode6.3.2.dmg'
  install_cmd: 'installer -allowUntrusted -dumplog -pkg "${mount}/Command Line Tools (OS X 10.10).pkg" -target /'
  remove_interactive: False
  version:
    major: 6
    minor: 3
    patch: 2

Here, the ${mount} variable gets replaced with the actual mount location (a random folder). The bamboo_xcode.version does not directly relate to the DMG role but is used to check if the appropriate version is installed.
