Back

Second round for the #NixOS #Ansible bubble:

With lots of help I now have a Ansible derivation that includes python modules for requirements from e.g. the kubernetes.core Ansible collection.

But things still do not work. Example: Creating something in a Kubernetes cluster using the kubernetes.core collection. No matter whether I target localhost in my playbook or the remote host with a delegate_to for localhost.

Ansible uses the installed python directly, but without all the module-including-voodoo that is done in the .ansible-wrapped file (that is being called when "ansible" is being invoked". And thus the kubernetes module is not found.

I also tried installing python3 and python3Packages.kubernetes in addition to ansible. I see the kubernetes in $HOME/.nix-profile/lib/python3.12/site-packages/, but it is still not found. I tried telling Ansible that localhost has a python interpreter, but no change.

Frustrating...
