I have what seems to be a simple question that I can't find on the web. How do
I get the current date from the Ansible server into a J2 variable? I know how
to do it with {{ ansible_date_time.date }} but that's from the remote node at
the time Ansible collected facts (which could be cached), NOT "now" on the
server I'm running on...right?
Use case (this works, but it's remote node "setup" (get facts) time, not local
server "now" time):
- name: Update image_release file
lineinfile:
dest=..../image_release
state=present
insertbefore=BOF
line='{{ ansible_date_time.date }} {{ image_release }}'
How do I get "now" on the server I'm running on?
