Probably dirty but something like reading out the file and setting facts based on the line?

I'm working on a playbook to get certs from letsencrypt, then put those into zone files. Rather than use the Ansible letsencrypt module, we've written a Perl script to get the certs. For each domain that we get certs for, a separate file named <domain>-le.txt is created in /etc/ansible/playbooks/files. It looks like this: mydomain.com cert1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cert2yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I need to extract the certs and put them into the domain's zone file. This is what the playbook looks like right now, where we currently have to paste in the certs, as can be seen from the two prompts. That's what I'm trying to further automate: --- - hosts: dns1,dns2 gather_facts: yes become: yes become_method: sudo vars_prompt: - name: "zonefile" prompt: "Enter host domain name" private: no - name: "acmechallenge1" prompt: "Enter first DNS TXT record" private: no - name: "acmechallenge2" prompt: "Enter second DNS TXT record" private: no vars: serial_num: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y%m%d%S') }}" year: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y) }}" zonedir: '/var/named/chroot/var/named/' tasks: - name: Create backup of zone file shell: cp /var/named/chroot/var/named/{{ zonefile }}.hosts /root/zonebackups/{{ zonefile }}.hosts.{{ ansible_date_time.iso8601 }} tags: - backup - name: Remove old TXT entries replace: path: "{{ item }}" regexp: '^_acme-challenge.*\n' replace: '' after: "Lets Encrypt Validation" backup: yes with_items: '{{ zonedir }}{{ zonefile }}.hosts' tags: - remove - name: Update serial number replace: dest: "{{ item }}" regexp: '202[3-5][0-1][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' replace: '{{ serial_num }}' with_items: '{{ zonedir }}{{ zonefile }}.hosts' tags: - updsrl - name: Add TXT entry 1 to zone file lineinfile: dest: "{{ item }}" insertafter: EOF line: '_acme-challenge TXT "{{ acmechallenge1 }}"' with_items: '{{ zonedir }}{{ zonefile }}.hosts' register: add_txt1 - name: Add TXT entry 2 to zone file lineinfile: dest: "{{ item }}" insertafter: EOF line: '_acme-challenge TXT "{{ acmechallenge2 }}"' with_items: '{{ zonedir }}{{ zonefile }}.hosts' register: add_txt2 - name: Show add_txt ansible.builtin.debug: var: add_txt1 - name: Show add_txt ansible.builtin.debug: var: add_txt2 - name: reload named-chroot service: name: named-chroot state: reloaded tags: - restart_named Getting this more fullu automated would be huge. Your help would be most appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
