Generate documentation for Ansible roles using inline annotations and Jinja2 templates.
What is Ansible Doctor?
Ansible Doctor is a tool that automatically generates documentation for Ansible roles by parsing inline annotations within role files. It solves the problem of outdated or missing documentation in Ansible projects by extracting metadata directly from source code. The tool uses Jinja2 templates to produce formatted documentation, making it easy to maintain consistent and up-to-date role documentation.
Ansible developers and DevOps engineers who manage Ansible roles and need to keep documentation synchronized with code changes. It's particularly useful for teams practicing infrastructure as code and seeking to automate documentation within their CI/CD pipelines.
Developers choose Ansible Doctor because it eliminates manual documentation updates by generating docs from annotations, ensuring documentation always matches the code. Its template system allows customization for different output formats, and its CI/CD integration makes it a seamless part of automated workflows.
