Hi all

been googling to no avail - I want to manage Jenkins with  
Ansible, and have the basics for the master here:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[https://github.com/rasputnik/ansible-jenkins](https://github.com/rasputnik/ansible-jenkins)

Next step is to configure some plugins and global config;  
this seems like it'd be a pretty common use case but although  
some plugins have a separate config file, the majority of them  
add stanzas to the main config.xml.

I can't see much to help me with managing 'fragments' of XML rather  
than lineinfile (shudder). Has anyone had any success with this approach?

You can start with [https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/2451](https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/2451) - this is a role showing entire deployment and config so you can get the idea, but there are other roles from the same user that deal with individual things (like jobs, plugins, etc.).

I did come across that one on github - there are \*tons\* of teeny  
little roles in there that all do 1 thing.

I'll dig around in there till I find one that looks close to what I  
need. Thanks!
