Ansible Support

[timyig]

What is your take on adding support for ansible playbooks as targets for the scripting feature.

This is my current way of dealing with this:

cat run_onchange_after_d_bootstrap.sh.tmpl

# ~/.local/bootstrap/bootstrap.yml hash: {{ include "dot_local/bootstrap/act.yml" | sha256sum }}

set -e
ansible-playbook {{ joinPath .chezmoi.homeDir ".local/bootstrap/bootstrap.yml" | quote }} --ask-become-pass

This requires a lot of boilerplate.
For every new playbook i have to append the hashing comment and add it to to my main playbook bootstrap.yml
With an LLM I created a quick PoC and will slowly migrate my setup with 20 playbooks for testing.

I could not find anything in the discussions and closed PRs.

• Is this been discussed?
• Does this feature make sense?

I will not add this. Integration with configuration management systems like Ansible can be done with scripts.

Note that if Ansible can read its playbooks from stdin then you can avoid the hash calculation with a run_onchange_ script something like the following (warning: not tested):

#!/bin/sh

ansible-playbook /dev/stdin --ask-become-pass <<EOF
{{ include "dot_local/bootstrap/act.yml" }}
EOF
