Ansible Git Module with Username Password-DecodingDevOps
Ansible Git Module with Username Password
in this blog post i am going to explain how to checkout the code from github or bitbucket, using ansible git module with username password.
root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# cat git.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars:
username: decodingdevops
password: sjjfddf7ee@3kj!8
repo_name: devops
tasks:
- name: Ansible Git Module with Username Password.
git:
repo: 'https://{{ username | urlencode }}:{{ password | urlencode }}@github.com/{{ username }}/{{ repo_name }}.git'
dest: /root/devops
Here i am defining three variables username, pasowrd, repo_name and i am using these three variables in ansible git module.
username is my github/bitbucker account username.
Password is Github/Bitbucket login paswsword.
repo_name is my repository name in github/bitbucket
In ansible git module i used two arguments one is repo and another one is dest. Repo represents the github/bitbucket url. Dest represnets the destination path, on this path only path only your downloaded/chekout code will be saved.
Output:
root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# ansible-playbook abc.yml PLAY [localhost] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************** TASK [nsible Git Module with Username Password.] ******************************************************************************************************************************************** changed: [localhost] PLAY RECAP ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************** localhost : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# ls devops git.yml root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# pwd /root
If there is any special characters in your username and password, you must and should use urlencode method as shown in above. otherwise you will get error like Could not resolve the host.
Error:
