Ansible requires python to be installed on all of the target computers.
- hoherd 1y agoThat's not necessarily true. There is the raw module that executes a bare command. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/raw_module.html https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/...
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoYeah, but at that point you've lost a lot of the benefits to using ansible.
- hoherd 1y agoAnsible uses this module to configure devices where it is impossible to install python, like network devices, which is one of ansible's big strengths.
- mmsc 1y agoare there any linux distributions which don't require python installed, other than embedded?
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 1y agoYes.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoOpenSUSE, Fedora/RHEL, Gentoo, and probably Debian (and derivatives of all of the above) have it by default, but Alpine and Arch don't appear to.
