pia 0.2.0

(Alternative) Package Installer for Ansible

PIA - Package Installer for Ansible

Like pip but for Ansible content, resilient content management that works fast, offline, with caching, compatible with multiple versions of ansible and a very friendly user interface.

This project aims to become an alternative to the current ansible-galaxy command line tool, one that would address some shortcomings such as:

• Ability to run offline, especially when checking if current dependencies are up to date.
• Use caching similar to how pip does, so network access would be needed only if current data is not available locally.
• Be idempotent.

Installation

pip3 install pia
