Hi,

I use Ceph-Ansible ([https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible)) and OpenShift-Ansible ([https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible)) to install this stuffs on our servers.

I would like to keep my configuration in a private Git repository.

For now, I use a private repository with this structure:  
.  
├── ceph  
│ ├── prod  
│ │ ├── README.md  
│ │ ├── ansible.cfg  
│ │ ├── ceph-ansible-upstream  
│ │ ├── hosts  
│ │ ├── playbooks  
│ │ └── roles  
│ └── test  
│ ├── README.md  
│ ├── ansible.cfg  
│ ├── ceph-ansible-upstream  
│ ├── hosts  
│ ├── playbooks  
│ └── roles  
└── openshift  
├── prod  
│ ├── README.md  
│ ├── ansible.cfg  
│ ├── hosts  
│ ├── openshift-ansible-upstream  
│ ├── playbooks  
│ └── roles  
└── test  
├── README.md  
├── ansible.cfg  
├── hosts  
├── openshift-ansible-upstream  
├── playbooks  
└── roles

Git Submodule handle all \*-upstream folders.

In all this environments I can add some private roles or playbooks.

My questions:

- how do you manage your Ansible installation when you use public Ansible recipes?
- do you fork this Ansible recipes and update it directly?
- do you use Ansible Galaxy roles? If yes, I think it’s difficult because OpenShift Ansible playbooks are very long and complex.

Best regards,  
Stéphane
