I am looking to update multiple similar config files and am looking for the
best path.
Updating individual files I have down pat with lineinfile and with_items.
The trick this time is that I have a directory that contains multiple files
in which I want to make the same update. My original idea was to make a
role that made the multiple updates to an individual file using with_items.
I was then thinking of trying to use with_items on the role. Unfortunately
it looks like I can't use with_items on a call to a role.
If I have to I can just call the role multiple times with a variable name
with the file name as a parameter. Is that my best bet or did I miss
something ?
# update config file
- { role: update-config-file
with_items:
- { tool-file-name: 'file1' }
- { tool-file-name: 'file2' }
- { tool-file-name: 'file3' }
}
#
Role - update-config-file
updates multiple lines in a config file
- name: lineinfile updates to /etc/toolname/{{ tool-file-name.conf }}
lineinfile: dest=/etc/toolname/{{ tool-file-name.conf }}
regexp='{{ item.regex }}'
line='{{ item.dataline }}'
backup=yes
with_items:
- { regex: "^TESTING ",
dataline: 'TESTING = "0"' }
- { regex: '^TESTING_INTERVAL',
dataline: 'TESTING_INTERVAL = "20" ' }
- { regex: '^TCP_IN',
dataline: 'TCP_IN = "22,80" ' }
