1). Send all your user input to ansible playbook command using —extra-vars.
You can also pass as json and yaml file.
Example: # ansible-playbook site.yml —extra-vars
“http_server_root=/var/www/html http_listen=8080 http_user=apache
http_group=apache”
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.7/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#passing-variables-on-the-command-line
2). Create a template for your http.conf file with variable which you are
passing via —extra-vars.
http.conf.j2
ServerRoot {{ http_server_root }}
Listen {{ http_listen }}
User {{ http_user }}
Group {{ http_group }}
3). Use template module to copy the config to target.
- name: Install main configuration file
template:
src: httpd.conf.j2
dest: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
