.. _playbooks_environment:
Setting the Environment (and Working With Proxies)
==================================================
.. versionadded:: 1.1
The ``environment`` keyword allows you to set an environment varaible for the action to be taken on the remote target.
For example, it is quite possible that you may need to set a proxy for a task that does http requests.
Or maybe a utility or script that are called may also need certain environment variables set to run properly.
Here is an example::
- hosts: all
remote_user: root
tasks:
- name: Install cobbler
package:
name: cobbler
state: present
environment:
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
.. note::
``environment:`` does not affect Ansible itself, ONLY the context of the specific task action and this does not include
Ansible's own configuration settings nor the execution of any other plugins, including lookups, filters, and so on.
The environment can also be stored in a variable, and accessed like so::
- hosts: all
remote_user: root
# here we make a variable named "proxy_env" that is a dictionary
vars:
proxy_env:
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
tasks:
- name: Install cobbler
package:
name: cobbler
state: present
environment: "{{ proxy_env }}"
You can also use it at a play level::
- hosts: testhost
roles:
- php
- nginx
environment:
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
While just proxy settings were shown above, any number of settings can be supplied. The most logical place
to define an environment hash might be a group_vars file, like so::
---
# file: group_vars/boston
ntp_server: ntp.bos.example.com
backup: bak.bos.example.com
proxy_env:
http_proxy: http://proxy.bos.example.com:8080
https_proxy: http://proxy.bos.example.com:8080
Working With Language-Specific Version Managers
===============================================
Some language-specific version managers (such as rbenv and nvm) require environment variables be set while these tools are in use. When using these tools manually, they usually require sourcing some environment variables via a script or lines added to your shell configuration file. In Ansible, you can instead use the environment directive::
---
### A playbook demonstrating a common npm workflow:
# - Check for package.json in the application directory
# - If package.json exists:
# * Run npm prune
# * Run npm install
- hosts: application
become: false
vars:
node_app_dir: /var/local/my_node_app
environment:
NVM_DIR: /var/local/nvm
PATH: /var/local/nvm/versions/node/v4.2.1/bin:{{ ansible_env.PATH }}
tasks:
- name: check for package.json
stat:
path: '{{ node_app_dir }}/package.json'
register: packagejson
- name: npm prune
command: npm prune
args:
chdir: '{{ node_app_dir }}'
when: packagejson.stat.exists
- name: npm install
npm:
path: '{{ node_app_dir }}'
when: packagejson.stat.exists
.. note::
``ansible_env:`` is normally populated by fact gathering (M(gather_facts)) and the value of the variables depends on the user
that did the gathering action. If you change remote_user/become_user you might end up using the wrong values for those variables.
You might also want to simply specify the environment for a single task::
---
- name: install ruby 2.3.1
command: rbenv install {{ rbenv_ruby_version }}
args:
creates: '{{ rbenv_root }}/versions/{{ rbenv_ruby_version }}/bin/ruby'
vars:
rbenv_root: /usr/local/rbenv
rbenv_ruby_version: 2.3.1
environment:
CONFIGURE_OPTS: '--disable-install-doc'
RBENV_ROOT: '{{ rbenv_root }}'
PATH: '{{ rbenv_root }}/bin:{{ rbenv_root }}/shims:{{ rbenv_plugins }}/ruby-build/bin:{{ ansible_env.PATH }}'
