Github Action to execute Ansible Playbooks using fixed Ansible versions.

Required The name of the playbook to execute.

Optional The name of the inventory file to use.

Optional The name of the requirements file, if you want to install external roles. This will trigger ansible-galaxy install -r <requirementsFile> before your playbook will be called.

Optional If you use private github repositories in your requirements file you need to set galaxyGithubUser and galaxyGithub token.

Optional Token to access git source of roles to download. Only needed for private git sources. Github Account needs to be linked to Ansible Galaxy.

Optional Additionally to requirementsFile above you can specify a custom roles path for your roles to be installed in. This variable is useless without requirementsFile. It simply adds --roles-path <rolesPath> to the galaxy command.

Optional ssh keyfile to use for connection to hosts. If vaulted use keyFileVaultPass to decrypt.

Optional Vault Password to decrypt keyfile.

Optional A String containing extra variables separated by spaces to inject in the playbook run.

Optional File with extra vars to inject in the playbook run. Especially useful when you want to inject environment variables. In such a case extraFile doesn't suffice.

Choose out of 4 verbosity log levels. See ansible documentation for details.
