Hey everyone,
I would like to have your input on that question.
I have a really special use case where I want to run an endless playbook (on localhost only). I basically want to implement an endless loop on my playbook. As we all know, looping over a set of tasks or blocks is not possible with a statement like while true, which will look like:
`
[...] I basically want to implement an endless loop on my
playbook.
[...]
I can of course use a higher level command that will keep triggering my
playbook in a loop, but I was actually thinking about implementing a
_custom strategy_ called *endless *for example.
I don't understand the "but": what do you *gain* by implementing your
own strategy apart from learning to implement your own custom strategy?
No (ana)cron(-alike) available?
Cheers,
Benjamin
Well in my case I wont even need a cron-alike tool… I just want to start the playbook once and keep it running all the time. Maybe something like supervisor could help me keeping that playbook running all the time.
I would just setup a daemontools service or if using systemd a unit that continually restarts ansible-playbook every time it dies
