Ansible runs N number of times (where N=vms.size)

[br0ziliy]

Hi James,

Ansible provisioner in Vagrant is designed to run once per each host by default.
We did worked this around by having ansible.limit='all' in 9607d41
This introduced another issue: provisioner will run that number of times, how much vms are defined in :vms: [] array in omv.yml.
Quick and dirty patch us attached (just to demonstrate the idea), but it introduces another issue: with this it's impossible to define multiple playbooks per host in the omv.yml (one global in :playbook: [] array, and one "per-vm" playbook in :vms: array.

Now I don't really see the use case of having multiple playbooks per host (as you do in examples/ansible.yml - if you agree I will submit a merge request with this patch.
If you disagree - please share your thoughts with me so I can think of another solution.

Thanks.

hey @br0ziliy, to be honest, i don't have any strong opinions about this because i'm not really using the ansible functionality at the moment. I think if you had a more concrete example of what problem is difficult to solve with the current code, it might help me understand better.

Having said all that, since I'm focusing my attention on https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt most of the time, I'm happy for you to have the final call for ansible design/patches.

@br0ziliy I've given you push access to the repo. I think here are the basic rules (for now):

• No merge commits please, rebase any patches (or contributor patches) before merging.
• Two ACK's for a commit. You're one ACK, I'm the other for now.

I'll try not to push too many "drive-by's" without telling you.
Welcome!
