Ansible content manager
A new command-line tool for managing Ansible content.
Mazer is experimental, and currently only available for tech-preview. Use with lots of caution! It is not intended for use in production environments, nor is it currently intended to replace the ansible-galaxy command-line tool.
If you're installing Ansible content in a production environment, or need assistance with Ansible, please visit the Ansible Project, or the Ansible docs site.
For additional documentation on mazer, view the Mazer topic on Ansible Galaxy Docs. Also see the more detailed README at github.
To install geerlingguy.nginx via galaxy:
$ mazer install geerlingguy.nginxSee mazer github repo for more examples.
The source code for mazer lives at https://github.com/ansible/mazer
$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/mazer.git $ cd mazer $ python setup.py install
Or install the requirements via pip:
$ pip install -r requirements.txtpip install -v git+ssh://git@github.com/ansible/mazer.git
mazer uses pytest for unit tests.
To install test requirements, use pip to install the requirements in requirements_test.txt:
pip install -r requirements_test.txtTo run unit tests via tox for default platforms (python 2.6, 2.7, 3.6):
$ toxvia 'pytest' directly:
$ pytest tests/When installing content from an Ansible Galaxy server, requires Galaxy v3.0+.

The name Mazer comes from a character from Ender's Game, Mazer Rackham, that Wikipedia describes as "the half-Māori captain who singlehandedly stopped the Second Invasion by realizing that the Buggers are a hive mind. Due to his inability to pass on his knowledge, he was forced to spend fifty years at relativistic speeds (eight years to Rackham) so that he could train the next commander — Ender Wiggin."
A mazer is also a hardwood drinking vessel.
