Using Ansible to Manage install and update Apple OSX DHCP clients

Okay so in using the test.yaml file buried within the geerlingguy folder I was able to at least get some progress.

Oh! I thought you were only using a single file.
Ok let's back up. can you show the folder structure of geerlingguy folder?
- hosts: 1x.x.x.143

So I know this will likely light a flame for someone, but when in the hell is yaml so annoying?
@IRJ how do I check my yaml configuration using the software you recommended, both VSCode and the extension are installed - just not sure how the heck to use yet.
It shows you when there is a formatting error
No error
Error. File lights up red and gives you a tip on how to fix.

To summarize, everything is installed in the default locations.

The clients file and ssh.sh are for a quick deployment of the ssh key to all of my workstations if this works out :-).
But ignore them for now.

This is the updated apply.yml file

Ok let's try this. Is your playbook only one file?
#*********************************************************** # Create or append ansible requirements file #*********************************************************** sudo sh -c "echo '- src: /etc/ansible/roles/geerlineguy' >> /etc/ansible/requirements.yml" #*********************************************************** # Install the role #*********************************************************** cd /etc/ansible/ sudo ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r /etc/ansible/requirements.yml #*********************************************************** # Run ansible playbook file #*********************************************************** sudo ansible-playbook /etc/ansible/apple.ymlUpdated. try this
-
@IRJ Each command individually?

yes reinstall the role this way
-
@IRJ So wouldn't I have to delete the role first?
-
Also this fails.
sudo ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r /etc/ansible/requirements.yml [WARNING]: - /etc/ansible/apple.yml was NOT installed successfully: the file downloaded was not a tar.gz ERROR! - you can use --ignore-errors to skip failed roles and finish processing the list. -

Just try running it first. If you delete the role, then the reference to source file will break.

@IRJ just did, not sure why they're in there as I haven't touched this file.

They are there because we did echo command in script to add them.
