I'm new to ansible and wonder how to do so as the following didn't work
ansible-playbook -i '10.0.0.1,' yada-yada.yml --tags 'loaddata' django_fixtures="tile_colors"
Where django_fixtures
is my variable.

Reading the docs I find the section Passing Variables On The Command Line, that give this sample:
ansible-playbook release.yml --extra-vars "version=1.23.45 other_variable=foo"
Others examples demonstrate how to load from JSON string (≥1.2
) or file (≥1.3
)
Other answers state how to pass in the command line variables but not how to access them, so if you do:
--extra-vars "version=1.23.45 other_variable=foo"
In your yml file you assign these to scoped ansible variables by doing something like:
vars:
my_version: "{{ version }}"
my_other_variable: {{ other_variable }}
An alternative to using command line args is to utilise environmental variables that are already defined within your session, you can reference these within your ansible yml files like this:
vars:
my_version: "{{ lookup('env', 'version') }}"
my_other_variable: {{ lookup('env', 'other_variable') }}
ansible-playbook release.yml -e "version=1.23.45 other_variable=foo"
You can use the --extra-vars
option. See the docs
For some reason none of the above Answers worked for me. As I need to pass several extra vars to my playbook in Ansbile 2.2.0, this is how I got it working (note the -e option before each var):
ansible-playbook site.yaml -i hostinv -e firstvar=false -e second_var=value2
ansible-playbook test.yml --extra-vars "arg1=${var1} arg2=${var2}"
In the yml file you can use them like this
---
arg1: "{{ var1 }}"
arg2: "{{ var2 }}"
Also, --extra-vars
and -e
are the same, you can use one of them.
