I think you may have “restart docker” listed before “daemon reload” in your handlers file. That part of the ansible documentation is a bit misleading. It means that handlers are executed in the order they are written in the handlers file, not the order they are notified. This is little more clear in the documentation: … Read more

FUBAR=”{{ ( PREFIX + ‘_’ + CNAME + VERSION ) | replace(‘.’,”) }}” Resolving a few problems: too many ‘{{}}’s need quotes around the whole expression the replace will only act on the last element unless it is all surrounded by ‘()’s

Don’t use shell-module when there is specialized modules available. In your case: Create directories with file-module: – name: create project directory {{ common.project_dir }} file: state=directory path={{ common.project_dir }} Download files with get_url-module: – name: download sources get_url: url={{ opencv.url }} dest={{ common.project_dir }}/{{ opencv.file }} Note the new module call syntax in the examples … Read more

Use find module to filter the files and then process the resulting list: – name: Get files on remote machine find: paths: /path/on/remote register: my_find – debug: var: item.path with_items: “{{ my_find.files }}”

You’re confusing the structure a bit. The group_vars directory contains files for each hostgroup defined in your inventory file. The files define variables that member hosts can use. The inventory file doesn’t reside in the group_vars dir, it should be outside. Only hosts that are members of a group can use its variables, so unless … Read more

Not fully possible. You can set ssh arguments in the ansible.cfg: [ssh_connection] ssh_args = -F ~/.ssh/client_1_config amazon-server-01 Unfortunately it is not possible to define this per group, inventory or anything else specific.

Variables are not resolved inside the name. Only inside the actual tasks/conditions etc. the placeholders will be resolved. I guess this is by design. Imagine you have a with_items loop and use the {{ item }}in the name. The tasks name will only be printed once, but the {{ item }} would change in every … Read more
