Ansible Runner is a tool and python library that helps when interfacing with Ansible directly or as part of another system whether that be through a container image interface, as a standalone tool, or as a Python module that can be imported. The goal is to provide a stable and consistent interface abstraction to Ansible. This allows Ansible to be embedded into other systems that don’t want to manage the complexities of the interface on their own (such as CI/CD platforms, Jenkins, or other automated tooling).

As many of you know, I have moved almost all my repositories from Github to Codeberg a while ago. Now I want to take it to the next level: Build my own little CI/CD engine!
Now, codeberg offers CI/CD with their Woodpecker instance at ci.codeberg.org, which I used in the past for example to build this blog but as codeberg is based on forgejo, you can have an even more interesting way to build your stuff — Forgejo Actions. So let’s explore that road!
Expand your automation to a virtually unlimited set of use cases.
Molecule project is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles.
Molecule provides support for testing with multiple instances, operating systems and distributions, virtualization providers, test frameworks and testing scenarios.
Molecule encourages an approach that results in consistently developed roles that are well-written, easily understood and maintained.
Molecule supports only the latest two major versions of Ansible (N/N-1), meaning that if the latest version is 2.9.x, we will also test our code with 2.8.x.
Once installed, the command line can be called using any of the methods below:
molecule ...
python3 -m molecule ... # python module calling method
