Hello
I have a simple playbook that distributes my SSH key. I tried to make a
more generic version of the playbook that would accept arguments via -e so
that the same playbook could distribute either a different key or a key for
a different user. This is what I have so far:
---
- hosts: all
vars:
username: "{{ username if username is defined else {{ansible_user_id}}
}}"
ssh_public_key: "{{ lookup('file', '{{ keyfile }}') if keyfile is
defined else lookup('file', '/home/{{ username }}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}"
tasks:
- debug: var=ssh_public_key
- debug: var=username
- name: Make sure the user's ~/.ssh exists.
file:
path: /home/{{ username }}/.ssh
state: directory
owner: "{{ username }}"
group: domain^users
mode: 0750
- name: Distribute my key
become: true
authorized_key:
user: "{{ username }}"
key: "{{ ssh_public_key }}"
manage_dir: yes
This fails when invoked with no arguments (i.e. nothing passed via -e) but
I simply do not understand the error message:
TASK [debug]
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [dgsdtstlum01.mcs.local]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "{{
lookup('file', '{{ keyfile }}') if keyfile is defined else lookup('file',
'/home/{{ username }}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}: {{ username if username is
defined else {{ansible_user_id}} }}: template error while templating
string: expected token ':', got '}'. String: {{ username if username is
defined else {{ansible_user_id}} }}"}
I apologise if this is a simple error, but I've been bashing at it for
hours with no success and google isn't being forthcoming. Where exactly is
it expecting a ":" and why?
This is ansible version 2.3.0. Thanks for reading.
Regards
Martin.
