Passing arguments to vagrant provision with Ansible such as --tags

ansible-vagrant-arguments-tags.MD

Option 1

Modify your Vagrantfile to pass ANSIBLE_ARGS

config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
   ansible.playbook = "dev.yml"
   # Etc
   ansible.raw_arguments = Shellwords.shellsplit(ENV['ANSIBLE_ARGS']) if ENV['ANSIBLE_ARGS']
end

Example usage:

ANSIBLE_ARGS='--tags="nginx,php" "some_var=value"' vagrant provision

Option 2

Call a playbook directly

ansible-playbook -i inventory —private-key=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key -u vagrant dev.yml —tags="nginx, php"

Option 3

Modify your Vagrantfile to load specific tags

app.vm.provision “ansible” do |ansible| 
  ansible.playbook = “dev.yml”
  ansible.tags=”nginx,php”
end
