I use a pattern like this to only get the tarball when the 'grafana_version' var changes. Seems to work pretty well (NB: this happens up on the server, no local caching).
- name: download grafana tarball get_url: url=http://grafanarel.s3.amazonaws.com/grafana-{{grafana_version}}.tar.gz dest=/root/.grafana-{{grafana_version}}.tar.gz - name: extract tarball to docroot unarchive: src=/root/.grafana-{{grafana_version}}.tar.gz dest=/opt/ copy=no creates=/opt/grafana-{{grafana_version}}/build.txt On 24 February 2015 at 10:55, Warren Seine <[email protected]> wrote: > Non, I'm not use a local action.
