exasol-ansible-modules 0.1.0

Python runtime package for Exasol Ansible collection modules.

Exasol Ansible Collection

Ansible Collection for automating Exasol database operations.

Installation

The collection is not published to Ansible Galaxy yet. To try it locally, build the collection archive from this checkout and install that archive:

poetry run nox -s collection:build
poetry run ansible-galaxy collection install --force .build_output/collections/exasol-exasol-*.tar.gz

Run the Ansible collection sanity checks with:

poetry run nox -s collection:sanity

After the collection is published, installation will use the Galaxy collection name:

ansible-galaxy collection install exasol.exasol

Runtime Dependencies

Install the Python dependencies required by the collection modules in the execution environment that runs Ansible:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

The dependency list includes exasol-ansible-modules, the Python package with the Exasol module runtime logic.

Usage

Use the collection from a playbook with the fully qualified collection name:

---
- name: Prepare Exasol hosts
  hosts: all
  collections:
    - exasol.exasol
  tasks:
    - name: Verify the collection is available
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "Exasol collection is installed."

The collection is currently a skeleton. Add module-specific tasks once public modules are available.
