89f53a942 landed the canonical mount surface without running autoformat, so ruff reflowed six files the next time the quality gate ran. Pure formatter output: expressions that fit on one line joined back up, one import pair sorted, no executable change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Custom Lookup Plugins for Infinito.Nexus
This directory contains custom Ansible lookup plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.
When to Use a Lookup Plugin
- Load external data: Use lookups to retrieve data from files, APIs, databases, environment variables, or other external sources.
- Context-aware data access: Lookups can access the full Ansible context, including inventory, facts, and runtime variables.
- Generate dynamic lists: Lookups are often used to build inventories, secrets, or host lists dynamically.
Examples
# Load the contents of a file as a variable
my_secret: "{{ lookup('file', '/path/to/secret.txt') }}"
# Retrieve a list of hostnames from an external source
host_list: "{{ lookup('infinito_inventory_hosts', 'group_name') }}"
When not to Use a Lookup Plugin
- If you only need to manipulate or transform data already available in your playbook, prefer a filter plugin instead.
