We are trying to configure Google compute engine resources using dynamic inventory in ANSIBLE

We are getting the below error when we run the command: $ ./gce.py --list

Hi Varun

Thanks for your response!

We are getting the below error when we run the command: $ GCE_INI_PATH=.gce.ini ./gce.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gce.py", line 297, in <module>
    GceInventory()
  File "./gce.py", line 111, in __init__
    self.driver = self.get_gce_driver()
  File "./gce.py", line 187, in get_gce_driver
    gce = get_driver(Provider.GCE)(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/libcloud/compute/drivers/gce.py", line 878, in __init__
    raise ValueError('Project name must be specified using '
ValueError: Project name must be specified using "project" keyword.

Pl advise us....

Keep gce.ini and gce.py in your inventory, make sure gce.ini has values for gce_service_account_email_address, gce_service_account_pem_file_path and gce_project_id.

After that, gce.py --list-hosts should work.

Hi Varun,

Thank you…We could get that issue resolved. Can you please give us a sample playbook to install these applications(like apache, python, etc…) in the VM running in the GCP from ansible

Thank You

Here’s a playbook to provision a VM and setup Deluge and a bunch of stuff for seedboxes. https://gist.github.com/chopraaa/5e34b66b155552809261b603a31e7dae

Thank you Varun… We will try it out
