Zbuilder: Building VMs and applying ansible playbooks
ZBuilder is a tool to help you build VMs ready to be transferred to ansible. By using ansible as a library, it has access to all ansible variables. This way it achieves high integration with ansible.
Installation
zbuilder depends on the libvirt python bindings, which compile against the libvirt headers, so install those first:
apt install libvirt-dev pkg-config gcc # or: dnf install libvirt-devel
Then install with:
pipx install --force zbuilder
or
pip3 install --user --upgrade zbuilder
The gcp provider needs the google client libraries, which ship as an extra:
pipx install --force 'zbuilder[gcp]'
The proxmox provider needs proxmoxer, which ships as an extra:
pipx install --force 'zbuilder[proxmox]'
