Ansible connection backend to manage remote LXC containers

ansible-lxc-remote's Issues

Alternative name for containers

Is there a way to specify the container name? right now if I have a container named "webs" in two different hosts, I can't define both. Can something like this be done:?

host1_webs container_name=webs ansible_ssh_host=....
host2_webs container_name=webs ansible_ssh_host=....

Thanks!

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VarsModule'

Hi,
I am testing the plugin, but I get this error when I add it to the library path (ansible v1.9.2).

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/ansible", line 197, in <module>
        (runner, results) = cli.run(options, args)
      File "/usr/bin/ansible", line 121, in run
        inventory_manager = inventory.Inventory(options.inventory, vault_password=vault_pass)
      File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/ansible/inventory/__init__.py", line 141, in __init__
        self._vars_plugins = [ x for x in utils.plugins.vars_loader.all(self) ]
      File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/ansible/utils/plugins.py", line 233, in all
        yield getattr(self._module_cache[path], self.class_name)(*args, **kwargs)
    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VarsModule'

From comparing the code of _ssh.py in your module to ssh.py in ansible v1.9.2, it looks like the module doesn't support the become_user changes.

Any ideas?
Thx

Support for Ansible 2.0

@Gu1 do you have plans to support Ansible 2.0? I would like to include your software in the next release of the TurnKey GNU/Linux Ansible appliance for managing containers on a TurnKey LXC appliance.

How to specify the remote user?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect from a controller machine ($USER==vagrant) through a remote lxc container (as user root2) to a container (as root).

However, it seems that the lxc-attach is being told to execute su as "vagrant" instead of "root", which doesn't exist in the container.
How can I set self.runner.remote_user on lxc_remote.py:71?

This happens when gathering facts.

inventory file:

remote-lxc-host        ansible_connection=ssh   ansible_ssh_port=222    ansible_ssh_user=root2    ansible_ssh_host=remote-lxc-host.somewhere.net

lxc-guest      ansible_connection=lxc_remote ansible_ssh_host=remote-lxc-host.somewhere.net ansible_ssh_port=222 ansible_ssh_user=root

exec log:
