Hi,
Up until recently I’ve been using a bone-headed setup.sh shell script to
setup my desktop clients based on Rocky Linux 8 and a heavily customized
KDE desktop:
* https://gitlab.com/kikinovak/rocky-8-desktop
I’ve been learning to use Ansible for some time now (with a few false
starts) and I’m currently translating this script into Ansible’s way of
doing things:
* https://gitlab.com/kikinovak/rocky-8-ansible
In the original setup.sh script I have a replace_menus() function that
loops through *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications and other
places and replaces some of these with a custom version, but only if
they exist in the first place.
I wonder how I could possibly translate this into Ansible code. Here’s
what should happen:
1. Loop through all custom desktop entries in the templates/ directory.
2. If the corresponding .desktop file exists in /usr/share/applications,
then replace it with the custom version from templates/.
3. If it doesn’t exist, then don’t install the template.
4. In other words: install the template only if the target already exists.
Any idea how I could possibly translate this into Ansible code ?
Cheers from the sunny South of France,
Niki
