Answer 1

Ansible-Playbook plugin didn't give you the full power off Ansible with jenkins, I can share the method that how I am using ansible with jenkins which will give you exactly the same power as you are using it from the command line.

Let's say, you job name is "stackoverflow" then you can put the ansible-scripts directory inside the /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/stackoverflow/workspace and use it in your jenkins job like this:

After that you can use the power of shell environment: Once you will configure this job then you can use it as you are normally using the ansible from the command line:

Please adjust the settings as per your environment.

Hope this will help you or other who want to use ansible from the jenkins.
