I was just checking out Tower, looks awesome.
Is it possible to have “parameterized” tasks?
Things like:
Set up a new web server with server_name=[ enter server name ]
(freetext)
SSL [ x ]
(boolean)
Type [ Apache | Nginx ]
(choices)
Hi nick,
Yes, you can edit variables on a per task basis (in fact the upcoming release even highlights syntax of the JSON/YAML), but there’s not a Q&A mode just yet – it’s a feature I’d really like to add in the future though, so you just edit the job template before you press the button.
In the future, I wanted to point out Tower questions should go here: https://ansibleworks.zendesk.com/home
(This mailing list is for the core project)
Thanks!
