[Libguestfs] Fwd: Guestfish Ansible Modules using Python Bindings

----- Forwarded message from Petros Petrou <ppetrou(a)redhat.com&gt; ----- Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 09:29:37 +0100 From: Petros Petrou To: Richard Jones Subject: Guestfish Ansible Modules using Python Bindings Hi Richard, I have been experimenting with guestfish and rhel qcow2 cloud images the last few months. I was challenged in a recent assignment on how to customize the RHEL 8 qcow image using cloud libraries to meet complex setups suchs a multiple partitions, lvm storage, openscap compliance etc as the default image is a single standard partition which is not suitable for production. Although the customer moved forward with kickstart to build their images I decided to put some effort on this and developed a python module to wrap the libguestfish python bindings and also developed a few ansible modules to support partitions, filesystems and lvm storage so as to see how much and how easy I can customize a cloud image using guestfish. I did some research beforehand and did not find much info on the web other than your website and blog so I assume I am not reinventing the wheel here :) My coding is in my github and will soon write a blog and try to present to the Red Hat Automation CoP and also try to push the Ansible Modules to the community. If you have any views or suggestions on this please let me know. I have found guestfish and supermin a very interesting library to work with and learned a lot. https://github.com/ppetrou/infra_server_kvm/tree/master/roles/infra_serve... https://github.com/ppetrou/infra_server_kvm/blob/master/roles/infra_serve... https://github.com/ppetrou/infra_server_kvm/tree/master/roles/infra_serve...
