jetfire

An Ansible inventory tool.

Overview

Jetfire is a web based Flask application with a MongoDB backend to manage an Ansible inventory.

It is currently in early stage and lacks fearures and proper documentation. It currently has the following features:

• add host with vars and add it to available groups

• add groups with vars and available members

• get host info (hostvars)

• get group info (groupvars and members)

• edit host vars and groups

• edit groups vars and hosts

• remove hosts and groups from the inventory

Usage

You’ll need a running MongoDB instance that you will use for your inventory. By default an "ansible" db is created (unless you configure a differend name in the config file) with currently following collections

• hosts

• groups

clone the repository and edit the config.cfg file in the app folder (specify mongodb server, port and database). Then run python app.py to launch the application. Open a browser and point to http://<yourhost>:5000

The inventory.py script is used as inventory script. It must be edited to point to the same MongoDB instance and database to function.

Required Python packages

• pip install flask-paginate

API testing

curl http://<host>:<port>/api/v1.0/hosts -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @host.json -X POST -v
