We have lot of playbooks which we run in our env, we are not using Ansible Tower. Our playbooks inventory are very dynamic hence we need to know if there is a way to trigger the playbook from a web interface, if so what is the best one to use. This eliminates the need to be on the ansible box all the time

Try Semaphore ([https://semaphoreui.com](https://semaphoreui.com)) - I tried it and it was pretty good, but at the time no one was developing it / fixing issues. Supposedly that has changed.

I have not looked into it, but Rundeck ([https://www.rundeck.com](https://www.rundeck.com)) has an Ansible interface as well, and I have seen some people post success with it…

Good luck, and please post updates when you find a workable solution!
