Create Directories
- name: create volume directories
file:
path: "/mnt/ebs0/{{ item }}"
state: directory
owner: root
with_items:
- "local-pv0"
- "local-pv1"
- "local-pv2"
when:
- inventory_hostname in groups['kube-node']
Create Directories Mirroring an Existing Structure
Create a directory structure mirroring an existing directory structure, specified by with_filetree
, where the "filetree" is relative to <role-name>/files
Ansible configuration directory:
- name: Create a directory structure
file:
path: "{{ ansible_env.TARGET_DIR }}/{{ item.path }}"
state: directory
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
with_filetree: "dirA/dirB/"
when: item.state == 'directory'
Create Files from Template Mirroring a Previously Created Directory Structure
The directory structure is created by the example above.
- name: Create the files from template
template:
src: "{{ item.src }}"
dest: "{{ ansible_env.TARGET_DIR }}/{{ item.path }}"
mode: "u=rw,g=r,o=r"
force: "no"
with_filetree: "dirA/dirB/"
when: item.state == 'file'
