  1. Ansible

Ansible Configuration

Ansible can have multiple configurations consumed in when it is functioning. These configurations have a priority which applies into the order of use.

  1. ansible.cfg - lowerst priority

    This file is typically placed using the system installation. It provides the system level information. 

$ ansible --version
  ansible 2.10.7
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ansible/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15) [GCC 9.3.0]

  1. .ansible.cfg in user home - second lowest priority

    This is a hidden file placed in the user's home directory. 

$ ansible --version
  ansible 2.10.7
  config file = /home/ansible/.ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ansible/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15) [GCC 9.3.0]

  1. ansible.cfg in the current / project directory This can be used to specify project specific ansible configurations.

    $ ansible --version
ansible 2.10.7
config file = /home/ansible/testdir/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = ['/home/ansible/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15) [GCC 9.3.0]

  2. ANSIBLE_CONFIG evnrionment targeting a file

$ ansible --version
  ansible 2.10.7
  config file = /home/ansible/my_example_ansible_config.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ansible/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15) [GCC 9.3.0]
