Missing python module netaddr

[bufanda]

Using the Jinja2 Filter 'ansible.utils.ipaddr' results in error with Message

"The ipaddr filter requires python's netaddr be installed on the ansible controller"

I am using the Docker Image semaphoreui/semaphore in the latest version from docker hub.

This is a standard filter which comes with ansible and is installed per default

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/utils/docsite/filters_ipaddr.html

Shouldn't all default modules, collection and packages have their dependencies have installed per default too?

How can I solve this? Do I need to build the Docker Image myself and add all dependencies?
Couldn't find a solution to this problem or how to install custom python packages.

Hi @bufanda it is external collection: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ansible/utils/

You can add it via collections/requirements.yml:

---
collections:
- ansible.utils

That wouldn't resolve the issue the the python dependency for this collection module is missing.

Aaa, got it.

I see two ways:

1. create Docker image based on semaphoreui/semaphore and install required deps.
2. create Task Template which will install required deps:

- name: install netaddr
  pip:
    name: netaddr

Just merged MR for installing python deps by requirements.txt:

#1250

Is it though? The collection is installed per default with ansible in the base semaphoreui Image therefore the python dependecy should also be installed. I didn't add the collection in any of my requirements and it is available for use. If it wouldn't be preinstallted I can understand your arguing but as it comes with the image in my humble opinion the image is incomplete and would need fixing and maintaining my own image of it is kinda a cheap cop out from your side in my opinion.

Looks like I need to go back to AWX at least basics there work without me having to maintain my own version.

@bufanda yes, of course you have to, no one will do your job for you.

So then this software is useless when not even pre installed elements work correctly. Thanks for the clarification.

@bufanda I didn’t think that this would have to be explained on GitHub, but this is open source software that is supported by the community. Instead of demanding something from someone, just implement it yourself. Pull requests are welcome.
