ssh-check
Ansible Role: egjiri.ssh-check
A common problem is launching new VM instances and trying to provision them through Ansible before ssh connection is available. This role allows you to wait for ssh connectivity to become available before proceeding with the rest of your tasks
Instructions
Installation
ansible-galaxy install egjiri.ssh-check
Usage
Set the hosts that you want to wait for ssh connectivity as part of the ssh_check
inventory group and set the ssh_check_active
variable to true
. This will make the specified hosts to retry the ssh connectivity and will skip all other hosts.
A desired setup might be to leave the ssh_check_active
as the default false
when running the playbooks after the hosts have been up for awhile and only set it to true
on initial provisioning when it's uncertain whether the instance is up or still booting.
Example
# Make sure that your hosts have been set as part of the `ssh_check` group before this point.
# The following snippet is how you would then use the role in your Playbook
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: False
vars:
ssh_check_active: True
roles:
- egjiri.ssh-check
Install
ansible-galaxy install egjiri/ansible-ssh-check
