Here’s a simple adhoc to run updates on systems in Ansible.
ansible servers -m apt -a "upgrade=yes update_cache=yes" -b
Results:
server | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Calculating upgrade...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.",
"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Calculating upgrade...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.",
"stdout_lines": [
"Reading package lists...",
"Building dependency tree...",
"Reading state information...",
"Calculating upgrade...",
"0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
]
}
If you want to reboot a remote server.
ansible servers -m "reboot" -b
