# To create an Ansible playbook that checks if qemu-guest-agent is installed, and if not, installs it, you can use the ansible.builtin.package module, which can manage packages across various types of package managers.
|
||
|
||
# Below is a simple playbook that accomplishes this:
|
||
|
||
#_________________________________________________________________________________________
|
||
---
|
||
- name: Check and Install qemu-guest-agent
|
||
hosts: all
|
||
become: yes # Use this if you need elevated privileges to install packages
|
||
tasks:
|
||
- name: Check if qemu-guest-agent is installed
|
||
ansible.builtin.package_facts:
|
||
|
||
|
||
- name: update apt cache
|
||
command: apt update
|
||
|
||
- name: upgrade all packages
|
||
command: apt upgrade -y
|
||
|
||
- name: Install qemu-guest-agent if not installed
|
||
ansible.builtin.package:
|
||
name: qemu-guest-agent
|
||
state: present
|
||
when: "'qemu-guest-agent' not in ansible_facts.packages"
|
||
|
||
- name: Start guest qemu-guest-agent
|
||
ansible.builtin.service:
|
||
name: qemu-guest-agent
|
||
state: started
|
||
enabled: true
|
||
|
||
#___________________________________________________________________________________________
|
||
|
||
# Explanation:
|
||
#
|
||
# hosts: all - This playbook will run on all hosts in your inventory.
|
||
# become: yes - This allows the tasks to run with elevated privileges (root), which is often required for installing packages.
|
||
# package_facts - This module gathers facts about installed packages on the target machine and stores them in ansible_facts.
|
||
# package - This module installs the specified package. The state: present ensures the package is installed.
|
||
# when condition - The when clause checks if qemu-guest-agent is present in the ansible_facts.packages. If it’s not installed, the package will be installed.
|
||
|
||
# Usage
|
||
|
||
# Save the above YAML content to a file, for instance, install_qemu_guest_agent.yml.
|
||
|
||
# Run the playbook using the following command:
|
||
|
||
# COMMAND TO RUN: ansible-playbook -i your_inventory_file install_qemu_guest_agent.yml
|
||
|
||
# Replace your_inventory_file with the path to your Ansible inventory file that defines your target hosts.
|
||
|
||
# This playbook should effectively install the qemu-guest-agent on any host where it is not already installed.
