This commit adds a connection driver built on top of systemd-nspawn.
This is similar to the existing `chroot` driver, except that nspawn
offers a variety of additional services. For example, it takes care of
automatically mounting `/proc` and `/sys` inside the chroot environment,
which will make a variety of tools work correctly that would otherwise
fail.
You can take advantage of other system-nspawn features to perform more
complicated tasks. For example, on my x86_64 system I have a Raspberry
Pi disk image mounted on `/rpi`. I can't use `chroot` with this because
the binaries contained in the image are for the wrong architecture.
However, I can use the systemd-nspawn `--bind` option to automatically
insert the appropriate qemu-arm binary into the container using an
inventory file like this:
pi ansible_host=/rpi ansible_nspawn_extra_args='--bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm --bind /lib64'
See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspawn.html
for more information about systemd-nspawn itself.
if ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE is set, 'ansible-vault rekey myvault.yml'
will fail to prompt for the new vault password file, and will use
None.
Fix is to split out 'ask_vault_passwords' into 'ask_vault_passwords'
and 'ask_new_vault_passwords' to make the logic simpler. And then
make sure new_vault_pass is always set for 'rekey', and if not, then
call ask_new_vault_passwords() to set it.
ask_vault_passwords() would return values for vault_pass and new
vault_pass, and vault cli previously would not prompt for new_vault_pass
if there was a vault_pass set via a vault password file.
Fixes#18247
Implement tag and skip_tag handling in the CLI() class. Change tag and
skip_tag command line options to be accepted multiple times on the CLI
and add them together rather than overwrite.
* Make it configurable whether to merge or overwrite multiple --tags arguments
* Make the base CLI class an abstractbaseclass so we can implement
functionality in parse() but still make subclasses implement it.
* Deprecate the overwrite feature of --tags with a message that the
default will change in 2.4 and go away in 2.5.
* Add documentation for merge_multiple_cli_flags
* Fix galaxy search so its tags argument does not conflict with generic tags
* Unit tests and more integration tests for tags
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
* Make ziploader's ansible and ansible.module_utils libraries into
namespace packages.
* Move __version__ and __author__ from ansible/__init__ to
ansible/release.py. This is because namespace packages only load one
__init__.py. If that is not the __init__.py with the author and
version info then those won't be available.
* In ziplaoder, move the version ito ANSIBLE_CONSTANTS.
* Change PluginLoader to properly construct the path to the plugins even
when namespace packages are present.
- moved to base cli class to handle centrally and duplicate less code
- now avoids duplication and reiteration of signal handler by reassigning it
- left note on how to do non-graceful in case we add in future
as I won't remember everything i did here and don't want to 'relearn' it.
The module docs and vault changes solve issues where tracebacks can
happen. The galaxy changes are mostly refactoring to be more pythonic
with a small chance that a unicode traceback could have occurred there
without the changes. The change in __init__.py when we actually call
the pager makes things more robust but could hide places where we had
bytes coming in already so I didn't want to change that without auditing
where the text was coming from.
Fixes#14178
Note that the fix for display normalizing to unicode is correct but the
fix for pathnames is probably not. Changing pathnames to unicode type
means that we will handle utf8 pathnames fine but pathnames can be any
sequence of bytes that do not contain null. We do not handle sequences
of bytes that are not valid utf8 here. To do that we need to revamp the
handling of basedir and paths to transform to bytes instead of unicode.
Didn't want to do that in 2.0.x as it will potentially introduce other
bugs as we find all the places that we combine basedir with other path
elements. Since no one has raised that as an issue thus far so it's not
something we need to handle yet. But it's something to keep in mind for
the future.
To test utf8 handling, create a utf8 directory and run a playbook from
within there.
To test non-utf8 handling (currently doesn't work as stated above), create
a directory with non-utf8 chars an run a playbook from there. In bash,
create that directory like this: mkdir $'\377'
Fixes#13937
* sudo was not working, now it supports full become
* now default checkout dir works, not only when specifying
* paths for checkout dir get expanded
* fixed limit options for playbook
* added verbose and debug info
since all the --ask pass options end up triggering the same code
and are functionally equivalent, ignore them when it comes to checking
privilege escalation conflicts. This allows using -K when --become-method=su
and so on.
better error reporting on fetching errors
use scm if it exists over src
unified functions in requirements
simplified logic
added verbose to tests
cleanup code refs, unused options and dead code
moved get_opt to base class

Now we have the following ways to set additional arguments:
1. [ssh_connection]ssh_args in ansible.cfg: global setting, prepended to
every command line for ssh/scp/sftp. Overrides default ControlPersist
settings.
2. ansible_ssh_common_args inventory variable. Appended to every command
line for ssh/scp/sftp. Used in addition to ssh_args, if set above, or
the default settings.
3. ansible_{sftp,scp,ssh}_extra_args inventory variables. Appended to
every command line for the relevant binary only. Used in addition to
#1 and #2, if set above, or the default settings.
3. Using the --ssh-common-args or --{sftp,scp,ssh}-extra-args command
line options (which are overriden by #2 and #3 above).
This preserves backwards compatibility (for ssh_args in ansible.cfg),
but also permits global settings (e.g. ProxyCommand via _common_args) or
ssh-specific options (e.g. -R via ssh_extra_args).
Fixes#12576
