# Shared Ansible Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following options are available to both Ansible provisioners:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- [`ansible`](/v2/provisioning/ansible.html)
|
||
|
- [`ansible_local`](/v2/provisioning/ansible_local.html)
|
||
|
|
||
|
These options get passed to the `ansible-playbook` command that ships with Ansible, either via command line arguments or environment variables, depending on Ansible own capabilities.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some of these options are for advanced usage only and should not be used unless you understand their purpose.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `extra_vars` (string or hash) - Pass additional variables (with highest priority) to the playbook.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This parameter can be a path to a JSON or YAML file, or a hash.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ruby
|
||
|
ansible.extra_vars = {
|
||
|
ntp_server: "pool.ntp.org",
|
||
|
nginx: {
|
||
|
port: 8008,
|
||
|
workers: 4
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
These variables take the highest precedence over any other variables.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `groups` (hash) - Set of inventory groups to be included in the [auto-generated inventory file](/v2/provisioning/ansible_intro.html).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ruby
|
||
|
ansible.groups = {
|
||
|
"web" => ["vm1", "vm2"],
|
||
|
"db" => ["vm3"]
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Alphanumeric patterns are not supported (e.g. `db-[a:f]`, `vm[01:10]`).
|
||
|
- This option has no effect when the `inventory_path` option is defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `inventory_path` (string) - The path to an Ansible inventory resource (e.g. a [static inventory file](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_inventory.html), a [dynamic inventory script](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_dynamic_inventory.html) or even [multiple inventories stored in the same directory](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_dynamic_inventory.html#using-multiple-inventory-sources)).
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, this option is disabled and Vagrant generates an inventory based on the `Vagrantfile` information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `limit` (string or array of strings) - Set of machines or groups from the inventory file to further control which hosts [are affected](http://docs.ansible.com/glossary.html#limit-groups).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default value is set to the machine name (taken from `Vagrantfile`) to ensure that `vagrant provision` command only affect the expected machine.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Setting `limit = "all"` can be used to make Ansible connect to all machines from the inventory file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `raw_arguments` (array of strings) - a list of additional `ansible-playbook` arguments.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is an *unsafe wildcard* that can be used to apply Ansible options that are not (yet) supported by this Vagrant provisioner. As of Vagrant 1.7, `raw_arguments` has the highest priority and its values can potentially override or break other Vagrant settings.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example: `['--check', '-M /my/modules']`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `skip_tags` (string or array of strings) - Only plays, roles and tasks that [*do not match* these values will be executed](http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_tags.html).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `start_at_task` (string) - The task name where the [playbook execution will start](http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_startnstep.html#start-at-task).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `sudo` (boolean) - Cause Ansible to perform all the playbook tasks [using sudo](http://docs.ansible.com/glossary.html#sudo).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default value is `false`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `sudo_user` (string) - set the default username who should be used by the sudo command.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `tags` (string or array of strings) - Only plays, roles and tasks [tagged with these values will be executed](http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_tags.html) .
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `verbose` (boolean or string) - Set Ansible's verbosity to obtain detailed logging
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default value is `false` (minimal verbosity).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Examples: `true` (equivalent to `v`), `-vvv` (equivalent to `vvv`), `vvvv`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that when the `verbose` option is enabled, the `ansible-playbook` command used by Vagrant will be displayed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `vault_password_file` (string) - The path of a file containing the password used by [Ansible Vault](http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_vault.html#vault).
