Dependency-free dynamic Ansible inventory for your Tailscale hosts. Allows you to reach
your Tailscale hosts easily with Ansible. All you need is Tailscale installed and
working, python 3.8+, and a copy of ansible_tailscale_inventory.py from this repo.
From one of your Tailscale nodes on your network, make ansible_tailscale_inventory.py
available as an inventory to Ansible. This can be done as an argument to the -i option
on Ansible commands, or by setting the ANSIBLE_INVENTORY environment variable's value
as the path to the script.
Note: At the time of writing, the inventory script has been tested with macOS and Linux, but not Windows.
ansible_tailscale_inventory.py automatically provides a few groups.
- There are groups of hosts for each operating system (
macOS,linux, etc) - Online hosts are found in the
onlinegroup, offline hosts in theofflinegroup - The
selfgroup includes the local host - Each Tailscale tag that has at least one host will be a group as well. The
name will be formatted as
tag_TagName(dashes will be replace with underscores)
The inventory automatically adds all available Tailscale IPs as a list in the
fact tailscale_ips.
