# Ansible code snippets in YAML
As I explore and learn Ansible, I will be adding the simple and easy to use Ansible code snippets written in YAML.
> :construction: The snippets include generic yaml code for you to understand the Ansible in-built modules and how to use them for your Ansible automation. More code snippets to come. So, :star: this repository :blush:
## Prerequisites
- Install and setup [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html)
## Run locally using playbooks
1. Command to run locally on your terminal or command prompt
```shell
ansible-playbook list_files.yml -i hosts.ini --flush-cache
```
> For verbose output, use `-vvvv` flag in the ansible command
Expected output:
```shell
PLAY [List files] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [List files in the current directory] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost]
TASK [debug] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"output.stdout_lines": [
"LICENSE",
"README.md",
"add_user_to_os.yml",
"ansible.cfg",
"curl_requests.yml",
"hosts.ini",
"list_files.yml",
"yum_install_dependencies.yml"
]
}
PLAY RECAP ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
```
2. cURL requests: add `--ask-become-pass` flag prompting for a root user password
```shell
ansible-playbook curl_requests.yml -i hosts.ini --flush-cache --ask-become-pass
```
Expected output:
```shell
BECOME password:
PLAY [CURL GET and POST requests] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [POST request with JSON and bearer token] ************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK [Print return information from the previous task] ****************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"result.json": {
"success": "true"
}
}
TASK [GET request to download a file] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK [debug] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"result": {
"changed": false,
"dest": "./filename.txt",
"elapsed": 0,
"failed": false,
"gid": 0,
"group": "wheel",
"mode": "0644",
"msg": "HTTP Error 304: Not Modified",
"owner": "root",
"size": 10612,
"state": "file",
"status_code": 304,
"uid": 0,
"url": "https://reqbin.com/echo"
}
}
PLAY RECAP ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=4 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
```
## Run locally using Ansible roles
Roles in Ansible are reusable tasks. You can either use playbooks or roles.
1. To run the roles, run the below command. `site.yml` is the playbook file. `staging` is the inventory file.
```sh
ansible-playbook site.yml -i staging --ask-become-pass
```
2. Part of the output
```sh
BECOME password:
PLAY [File and OS management] ***************************************************************************************************
TASK [file_management : List files in the current directory] ********************************************************************
[WARNING]: Platform darwin on host localhost is using the discovered Python interpreter at /opt/local/bin/python3.11, but future
installation of another Python interpreter could change the meaning of that path. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-
core/2.15/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.

TASK [file_management : debug] **************************************************************************************************

"README.md",
"filename.txt",
"group_vars",
"host_vars",
"playbooks",
"production",
"roles",
"scripts",

]
}
TASK [os_management : Add a new user to the Operation system] *******************************************************************

TASK [os_management : Change OS user password] **********************************************************************************
skipping: [localhost]
TASK [os_management : Add a new user to the Operation system] *******************************************************************
