I keep getting this error when try create ProxMox containers using Ansible. Has anyone know how to fix this? Im trying to create Proxmox VE cluster containers. Uses LXD containers.
Here is my playbook
- hosts: proxmox
user: root
tasks:
- name: Test container
proxmox:
vmid: 777
node: 'pve'
api_user: 'root#pam'
api_password: 'admin'
api_host: 'node1'
password: '123456'
hostname: 'example.org'
ostemplate: 'local:vztmpl/ubuntu-16.04-standard_16.04-1_amd64.tar.gz'
Here is complete Ansible debug report
The full traceback is:

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
Install proxmoxer on proxmox machine.
Or otherwise explain, what is your expectation for trying to run it without the library. You might be running it on a different target than you intended.

I'm trying to run the command show redundant summary on a cisco Wlan controller (Catalyst 6509-E).
When I use this aireos_command from ansible:
- name: show redundancy summary
aireos_command:
commands: show redundancy summary
register: wlan_output
vars:
ansible_connection: local
I get following error (ignore deprecation warning):

Why do i get null as an answer?
Perhaps installing the Python package ansible-pylibssh will help; it seems like the ansible.module_util.connection.Connection class isn't happy with Paramiko and the aireos_command module.
$ ansible --version
ansible 2.10.8
Per Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.1 Silent Install (How-To Guide), I should be able to install VirtualBox silently like this
C:\temp> VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win.exe --silent --ignore-reboot
and if I run the above command in a Windows command prompt, it succeeds and installs VirtualBox.
Now I do this in Ansible
- name: "Install {{ artifact_filename }}"
win_package:
path: "C:\\temp\\VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win.exe"
arguments: "--silent --ignore-reboot"
state: present
and I get this when I run the playbook with the task.

What am I missing? TIA.
I RTFM'd the win_package documentation. It says regarding the arguments option
arguments This is only used for the msi, msp, and registry providers.
So I do this instead
- name: "Install VirtualBox"
win_command: "C:\\temp\\VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win.exe --silent --ignore-reboot"
If anyone has a better answer I'm all eyes.
I have a playbook with lineinfile. I need to capture the failure.
When I use register the failed ones of lineinfile are not being capture also the success one does not have enough information like a general register values. (Eg. there is no rc code, stdout or anything)
I need to capture the hosts on which the lineinfile task failed.
Please let me know if there is any method to achieve the requirement.
lineinfile:
path: /test
regexp: "^host"
line: "host myhost 127.0.0.1"
state: present
register: result
I am trying capture this message that is displayed in the verbose but unable to capture it with a register so that I can use the when condition and say when rc == 257 it is to be marked as failed.

I don't understand your complaint; lineinfile: is going to ensure that line appears in the target file, and will only use the regexp: bit to assist it in placing the line. If the file does not have a line that starts with host, then lineinfile: will just append the line: to the bottom of the file, and cheerfully report that it did so in result.msg:
changed: [host0] => {"backup": "", "changed": true, "msg": "line added"}
changed: [host1] => {"backup": "", "changed": true, "msg": "line replaced"}
I am trying to use Ansible to provision some VMs on my newly set up Proxmox VE. I have installed proxmoxer and request with PIP on both my local Mac and Proxmox VE (Python 2 on Proxmox and Python 3 locally). I use Ansible 2.4.3.0, Proxmox version: 5.1-41.
I do have a vm with the id of 100, which was created from a Debian template, the vm is located on local-lvm (pve).
My full playbook can be found at: https://github.com/atwright147/ansible-contact-book-proxmox-provisioner, the specific task is pasted below:
---
- proxmox_kvm:
api_user: root#pam
api_password: REDACTED
api_host: pve
vmid: 100
state: current
When running this script via: ansible-playbook -vvv --connection=local -i hosts site.yml I get the following error:

What am I doing wrong?
It turned out that I was making several mistakes here.
I should have been using the proxmox module rather than proxmox_kvm
I needed to use the storage param to set up the container in local-lvm e.g. storage: local-lvm
My final, working task looks like this:
- name: "Create a Linux Container (LXC)"
proxmox:
node: pve
api_user: root#pam
api_password: proxmox_password
api_host: pve
password: vm_password
hostname: vm.hostname.local
ostemplate: "local:vztmpl/ubuntu-16.04-standard_16.04-1_amd64.tar.gz"
storage: local-lvm
cores: 2
state: present
Here is what I have:
- name: Create directories that will be used as persistent volumes
become: yes
become_method: sudo
file:
path: /tmp/pv-{{ item }}
state: directory
mode: "g=rwx"
group: "root"
selevel: _default
seuser: _default
serole: _default
setype: svirt_sandbox_file_t
with_items:
- cassandra
- services
The two directories are correctly created, group a rights are ok. But the SE Linux context is wrong.
$ ll -dZ /tmp/pv-cassandra
drwxrwxr-x. 2 jkremser root unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0 40 Mar 9 15:19 /tmp/pv-cassandra
This is the part of the debugging output:

},

What am I doing wrong? My OS is Fedora 25.
If I use the copy module, instead of the file, that has almost the same parameters, it throws this error:
Aborting, target uses selinux but python bindings (libselinux-python) aren't installed
After installing the libselinux-python package, it works! So it looks like the file module silently swallows the error and does what it can do :( I can't depend on the fact that user has the libselinux-python package installed.
I'll probably call the chcon myself as a shell command or add the package as a prerequisite:
- name: Install the libselinux-python package
package:
name: libselinux-python
state: present
