Communicating

Code of Conduct

All communication and interactions in the Ansible Community are governed by our code_of_conduct. Please read and understand it!

Asking questions over email

If you want to keep up with Ansible news, need help, or have a question, you can use one of the Ansible mailing lists. Each list covers a particular topic. Read the descriptions here to find the best list for your question.

Your first post to the mailing list will be moderated (to reduce spam), so please allow up to a day or so for your first post to appear.

The Ansible mailing lists are hosted on Google, but you do not need a Google account to subscribe. To subscribe to a group from a non-Google account, send an email to the subscription address requesting the subscription. For example: ansible-devel+subscribe@googlegroups.com.

Real-time chat

For real-time interactions, conversations in the Ansible community happen over two chat protocols: Matrix and IRC. We maintain a bridge between Matrix and IRC, so you can choose whichever protocol you prefer. All channels exist in both places. Join a channel any time to ask questions, participate in a Working Group meeting, or just say hello.

Ansible community on Matrix

To join the community using Matrix, you need two things:

The Ansible community maintains its own Matrix homeserver at ansible.im, however public registration is currently unavailable.

IRC chat supports:

Our IRC channels may require you to register your IRC nickname. If you receive an error when you connect or when posting a message, see libera.chat's Nickname Registration guide for instructions. To find all ansible specific channels on the libera.chat network, use the following command in your IRC client:

/msg alis LIST #ansible* -min 5

as described in the libera.chat docs.

General channels

The clickable links will take you directly to the relevant Matrix room in your browser; room/channel information is also given for use in other clients:

Working groups

Many of our community Working Groups meet in chat. If you want to get involved in a working group, join the Matrix room or IRC channel where it meets or comment on the agenda.

Regional and Language-specific channels

Meetings on chat

The Ansible community holds regular meetings on various topics on Matrix/IRC, and anyone who is interested is invited to participate. For more information about Ansible meetings, consult the meeting schedule and agenda page.

Ansible Automation Platform support questions

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is a subscription that contains support, certified content, and tooling for Ansible including content management, a controller, UI and REST API.

If you have a question about Ansible Automation Platform, visit Red Hat support rather than using a chat channel or the general project mailing list.
