如何使用ansible通过easy_install安装本地egg？

Question

I have a couple of local egg packages (company specific stuff) that I need to install as part of ansible provision.

I can do a hacky install using shell commands, but I'm wondering if there's a more ansible-friendly/saner way to do it?

Answer 1

Not for eggs AFAIK. Ansible does have an easy_install module, but it doesn't haven an option to setup and egg locally.

You can try the pip module, but as you probably may have seen, local egg installs are not supported by pip . So if you want to use the pip Ansible module you will have create a source distribution for those packages that you have as eggs.

You can see the documentation for the Ansible pip module here:

http://docs.ansible.com/pip_module.html

Also, the pip documentation is here:

http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/

Of course, you can hack the easy_install module for Ansible but that may take you longer than just using the Ansible shell module.

Hope it helps.
