Yes, you just need to call the setup module
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/setup_module.html> yourself (instead of
letting gather_facts call it for you) and pass fact_path to a location you
have control over. eg:
- hosts: myhosts
gather_facts: no
tasks:
# calling setup manually will still store all the facts normally
- setup:
fact_path: /home/me/myfacts
- shell: echo "do stuff"
