ansible-galaxy(1) =================== :doctype: manpage :man source: Ansible :man version: %VERSION% :man manual: System administration commands NAME ---- ansible-galaxy - manage roles using galaxy.ansible.com SYNOPSIS -------- ansible-galaxy [delete|import|info|init|install|list|login|remove|search|setup] [--help] [options] ... DESCRIPTION ----------- *Ansible Galaxy* is a shared repository for Ansible roles. The ansible-galaxy command can be used to manage these roles, or for creating a skeleton framework for roles you'd like to upload to Galaxy. COMMON OPTIONS -------------- *-h*, *--help*:: Show a help message related to the given sub-command. INSTALL ------- The *install* sub-command is used to install roles. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy install [options] [-r FILE | role_name(s)[,version] | tar_file(s)] Roles can be installed in several different ways: * A username.rolename[,version] - this will install a single role. The Galaxy API will be contacted to provide the information about the role, and the corresponding .tar.gz will be downloaded from *github.com*. If the version is omitted, the most recent version available will be installed. * A file name, using *-r* - this will install multiple roles listed one per line. The format of each line is the same as above: username.rolename[,version] * A .tar.gz of a valid role you've downloaded directly from *github.com*. This is mainly useful when the system running Ansible does not have access to the Galaxy API, for instance when behind a firewall or proxy. OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *-f*, *--force*:: Force overwriting an existing role. *-i*, *--ignore-errors*:: Ignore errors and continue with the next specified role. *-n*, *--no-deps*:: Don't download roles listed as dependencies. *-p* 'ROLES_PATH', *--roles-path=*'ROLES_PATH':: The path to the directory containing your roles. The default is the *roles_path* configured in your *ansible.cfg* file (/etc/ansible/roles if not configured) *-r* 'ROLE_FILE', *--role-file=*'ROLE_FILE':: A file containing a list of roles to be imported, as specified above. This option cannot be used if a rolename or .tar.gz have been specified. REMOVE ------ The *remove* sub-command is used to remove one or more roles. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy remove role1 role2 ... OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *-p* 'ROLES_PATH', *--roles-path=*'ROLES_PATH':: The path to the directory containing your roles. The default is the *roles_path* configured in your *ansible.cfg* file (/etc/ansible/roles if not configured) INIT ---- The *init* command is used to create an empty role suitable for uploading to https://galaxy.ansible.com (or for roles in general). USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy init [options] role_name OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *-f*, *--force*:: Force overwriting an existing role. *-p* 'INIT_PATH', *--init-path=*'INIT_PATH':: The path in which the skeleton role will be created.The default is the current working directory. *--offline*:: Don't query the galaxy API when creating roles LIST ---- The *list* sub-command is used to show what roles are currently instaled. You can specify a role name, and if installed only that role will be shown. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy list [role_name] OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *-p* 'ROLES_PATH', *--roles-path=*'ROLES_PATH':: The path to the directory containing your roles. The default is the *roles_path* configured in your *ansible.cfg* file (/etc/ansible/roles if not configured) SEARCH ------ The *search* sub-command returns a filtered list of roles found at galaxy.ansible.com. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy search [options] [searchterm1 searchterm2] OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *--galaxy-tags*:: Provide a comma separated list of Galaxy Tags on which to filter. *--platforms*:: Provide a comma separated list of Platforms on which to filter. *--author*:: Specify the username of a Galaxy contributor on which to filter. *-c*, *--ingore-certs*:: Ignore TLS certificate errors. *-s*, *--server*:: Override the default server https://galaxy.ansible.com.

The default is the *roles_path* configured in your *ansible.cfg* file (/etc/ansible/roles if not configured) *-c*, *--ingore-certs*:: Ignore TLS certificate errors. *-s*, *--server*:: Override the default server https://galaxy.ansible.com. LOGIN ----- The *login* sub-command is used to authenticate with galaxy.ansible.com. Authentication is required to use the import, delete and setup commands. It will authenticate the user,retrieve a token from Galaxy, and store it in the user's home directory. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy login [options] The *login* sub-command prompts for a *GitHub* username and password. It does NOT send your password to Galaxy. It actually authenticates with GitHub and creates a personal access token. It then sends the personal access token to Galaxy, which in turn verifies that you are you and returns a Galaxy access token. After authentication completes the *GitHub* personal access token is destroyed. If you do not wish to use your GitHub password, or if you have two-factor authentication enabled with GitHub, use the *--github-token* option to pass a personal access token that you create. Log into GitHub, go to Settings and click on Personal Access Token to create a token. OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *-c*, *--ingore-certs*:: Ignore TLS certificate errors. *-s*, *--server*:: Override the default server https://galaxy.ansible.com. *--github-token*:: Authenticate using a *GitHub* personal access token rather than a password.

When a branch is not specified the branch found in meta/main.yml is used. If no branch is specified in meta/main.yml, the repo's default branch (usually master) is used. DELETE ------ The *delete* sub-command will delete a role from galaxy.ansible.com. Requires the user first authenticate with galaxy.ansible.com using the *login* subcommand. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy delete [options] github_user github_repo OPTIONS ~~~~~~~ *-c*, *--ingore-certs*:: Ignore TLS certificate errors. *-s*, *--server*:: Override the default server https://galaxy.ansible.com. SETUP ----- The *setup* sub-command creates an integration point for *Travis CI*, enabling galaxy.ansible.com to receive notifications from *Travis* on build completion. Requires the user first authenticate with galaxy.ansible.com using the *login* subcommand. USAGE ~~~~~ $ ansible-galaxy setup [options] source github_user github_repo secret * Use *travis* as the source value.
