Implementing custom modules

Archives Ansible Project

Hi folks,

I need a module like wait_for that also checks for something useful
returned by a URL. The reason is that a port might be open but the
service might not be returning anything useful yet.

So, I'd like to know how to implement a custom module that resides outside
the ansible project so that I don't have to either fork the project or copy
my module into the project. In other words, I want to extend ansible with
a custom module.

Nevermind folks, I just discovered the Bundling Ansible Modules With
Playbooks section from the Best Practices documentation:
