Hello,
We are looking for a way to use a Multi Select (constant value) if the value is "yes" or "checked" we would like to run an ansible playbook. Ideally we would like to keep it simple within the cloud template/blueprint as part of the YAML code (like shown below with the "oneOf".
We have a form with "oneOf" type where users are selecting the Language they need to get configured, that takes them to execute a specific Ansible playbook that's matching their selection.
Language:
type: string
oneOf:
- title: French
const: FrenchAnsible
- title: German
const: GermanAnsible
title: Select Language
Later their selection is used in Ansible blueprint section:
Cloud_Ansible_1:
type: Cloud.Ansible
properties:
authentication: usernamePassword
inventoryFile: /home/ansible/inventory
username: Administrator
password: xxxxx
hostName: '${resource.Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1.networks[0].address}'
groups:
- win
playbooks:
provision:
- '/home/ansible/${input.Language}.yml'
If they go with French their selection will generate a value of FrenchAnsible which is the name of ansible playbook called frenchansible.yml which will execute the playbook.
Here's the question...
I need to create a section in the form to allow users to select the apps that they need to get installed during the creation of the VM. The installation will happen via Ansible the same way as I've explained above.
For example the form will have:
App1 (Multi Select with a value)
App2 (Multi Select with a value)
App3 (Multi Select with a value)
So based on the (Multi Select with a value) selection and the value we will be executing different playbooks to install the app, something like this:
---
playbooks:
provision:
-
'/etc/ansible/playbooks/${input.app1}.yml'
'/etc/ansible/playbooks/${input.app2}.yml'
So the app1 (Multi Select with a value) will call app1.yml, the app2 (Multi Select with a value) will call app2.yml, etc. so ansible will be executed just for the selections that have been made via check box. Since app3 hasn't been selected it won't be executed.
When I use a custom form and I use ((Multi Select with a value)) I can't find a way to use the code like I did with the oneOf option to call INPUT the "value" /${input.app1}.yml like I did before.
Something like this
checkbox:
- title: French
const: FrenchAnsible
So I can later use it with the ansible blueprint code to call the ansible playbook the same way.
playbooks:
provision:
- '/home/ansible/${input.Language}.yml'
How can we can use "INPUT" value for custom forms, in the example above for Multi Select to call ansible specific playbook.
Note the values I am using are constant not dynamic.
