View All TagsAnsible scripts that delegate to a git repository can set the new ansible_cfg field, a repo-relative path to an ansible.cfg that becomes the effective configuration via ANSIBLE_CONFIG, so repo settings like roles paths, inventory plugins and callbacks apply. Windmill only re-applies runtime-bound settings (temp directories, vault password) and prepends its own roles and collections install paths. Requires workers running with DISABLE_NSJAIL=true; without the field, Windmill's generated config takes precedence as before.
New features
- New optional ansible_cfg field in the delegate_to_git_repo block, taking a path relative to the cloned repo root
- ANSIBLE_CONFIG points at the repo config so its roles paths, inventory plugins, callbacks, host_key_checking and ssh settings apply
- Windmill layers back only runtime-bound settings: temp/home directories in the job dir and vault password/identities from the script metadata
- Windmill-managed galaxy install locations are prepended to the roles_path and collections_path declared in the repo config
- The field supports {{ argname }} placeholders like playbook, commit and inventories_location
- The job fails with a clear error if the file is missing from the cloned repo; without the field, behavior is unchanged
