Sorry for resurrecting this old thread.
I shuffled things around a bit lately, and came up with a single
playbook file that can be used to template a directory tree. See
below.
---
# Template a directory structure
# Include this task like this example, supplying at least
# a 'src' and 'dest' variable:
#
# - include_tasks: template_tree.yml
# vars:
# src: "{{ playbook_dir }}/app1/config"
# dest: /etc/app1
#
# Optional variables:
# validate: /usr/bin/chckconfig %s
# cleanup: true
- name: Find all local content
become: false
connection: local
find:
paths: "{{ src }}"
recurse: true
hidden: true
file_type: any
register: _local
- name: Ensure directories are created
file:
path: "{{ dest ~ '/' ~ ( item.path | relpath(src)) }}"
state: directory
mode: "{{ item.mode }}"
loop: "{{ _local | json_query('files[?isdir]') }}"
loop_control:
label: "{{ item.path | relpath(src) }}"
- name: Ensure files are templated
template:
src: '{{ item.path }}'
dest: "{{ dest ~ '/' ~ ( item.path | relpath(src)) }}"
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
validate: "{{ validate | default(omit) }}"
loop: "{{ _local | json_query('files[?!isdir]') }}"
loop_control:
label: "{{ item.path | relpath(src) }}"
- name: Remove orphan logic
block:
- name: Find all remote content
find:
paths: "{{ dest }}"
recurse: true
file_type: any
hidden: true
register: _remote
- name: Clean up orphaned files/directories
file:
path: "{{ dest }}/{{ item }}"
state: absent
loop: "{{ _remote | json_query('files[].path') | map('relpath',
dest) | list |
difference( _local | json_query('files[].path') |
map('relpath', src) | list) }}"
when: cleanup|default(false)|bool
