packer + ansible, how to specify the inventory file
ansible, digital-ocean, packer, vagrant
Solution
Well, my guess is that since ansible with packer uses a local connection (`-c local`), there is not need to provide an inventory file.
You just have to make sure that in your playbook, your `-hosts` line(s) contains `all` or `127.0.0.1` and it should run ok.
Problem
When I use vagrant, I can specify the inventory file in the Vagrantfile. Example: ``` config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible| ansible.playbook = "my_folder/playbook.yml" ansible.inventory_path = "my_folder/inventory_file" end ``` How can I configure the inventory_file when I use packer? I can't see any related info in the official documentation of packer: http://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners/ansible-local.html I need specify the inventory file, because, when I run my packer.json, this is the output: ``` digitalocean: Executing Ansible: ansible-playbook /tmp/my_folder/playbook.yml -c local -i "127.0.0.1," digitalocean: digitalocean: PLAY [foo] ****************************************************************** digitalocean: skipping: no hosts matched ``` Packer seems using a inventory file named "127.0.0.1,", and I don't know why. How can I specify my inventory file? Thanks!
