Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tricks for neatly handling common file
dependencies for roles. I initially thought having a common dependent role
in meta/main.yml would facilitate this but apparently dependencies don't
apply to files (which does make sense if roles are though of as totally
isolated), but is there some way to achieve this? Or is there some way to
specify search paths for files inside a role or something?
So far the best I've come up with is putting a *files *and/or *templates
*directory
in the root of the ansible directory and then referencing files/templates
with *src=file/myfile.txt *and/or *src=templates/mytemplate.txt *(I've also
seen the recommendation to use *src={{ inventory_dir }}/files/myfile.txt *but
that doesn't seem necessary). The problem with this is that it doesn't
really organise dependencies for roles but rather just lumps everything
into one directory and makes it difficult to share roles externally.
Alternatively, is there some way to specify multiple task files in a role
so that all other components can be shared, i.e. something like the
following (or Chef cookbook recipes really)
- name: myplay
roles:
- myrole.create (roles/myrole/tasks/create.yml)
- myrole (roles/myrole/tasks/main.yml)
- myrole.delete (roles/myrole/tasks/delete.yml)
Regards,
Yoshi
