Re: [ansible-project] Variable within the variable
You need to make your fuser_dirname variable change as you loop over
your car models.
Then you need to make your tasks loop over the car models.
- name: Create and copy folder
hosts: all
become_user: fuser
vars_files:
- /ansible_scripts/vars/vars_carmodel_file.yml
vars:
fuser_dirname: "*{{ item }}-sample-dir*"
tasks:
- name: Create sample directories in /home/mule
ansible.builtin.file:
path: "/home/mule/{{ fuser_dirname }}"
mode: "0755"
state: directory
*loop: "{{ car_dirname }}"*
- name: Copy /home/fuser directories to /apps
ansible.builtin.copy:
src: "/home/fuser/{{ fuser_dirname }}/"
dest: "/apps/{{ fuser_dirname }}"
*loop: "{{ car_dirname }}"*
But there's lots of other questionable stuff going on here. The first
task is working in the target hosts /home/mule directory, but the second
task is copying directories from the ansible controller's /home/fuser
tree to the target hosts without specifying group, owner, or mode.
Anyway, this is one answer to how to deal with the looping. You'll need
to work out these other details, though, before you have a useful process.
Also, use ansible-lint on your code.

Hello Group,

I have the variable (fuser_dirname) that I'd usually used as the main
variable in my playbook. However, I'd just need to have another
variable with the list of the car name to make it as directory name.
This maybe similar to the bash script where I will cat the variable
file then use the 'for' loop command.
Was wondering if anyone may have some idea on how to work this in just
playbook module and script.
Below are the command, expected result, variable, and playbook files.
Command
ansible-playbook /ansible_scripts/playbooks/testtemp/for_test_only.yml
--limit fuser_hostname

Any help and guidance are much appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.

[ansible-project] Variable within the variable
Hello Group,
Requesting for any help and guidance on how I can able to use the variable
within the variables.
I have the variable (fuser_dirname) that I'd usually used as the main
variable in my playbook. However, I'd just need to have another variable
with the list of the car name to make it as directory name.
This maybe similar to the bash script where I will cat the variable file
then use the 'for' loop command.
Was wondering if anyone may have some idea on how to work this in just
playbook module and script.
Below are the command, expected result, variable, and playbook files.
Command
ansible-playbook /ansible_scripts/playbooks/testtemp/for_test_only.yml
--limit fuser_hostname
Result
fuserATawscar001:/apps> ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 3 fuser fuser33 May 30 08:40 honda-sample-dir/
drwxr-xr-x 3 fuser fuser33 May 30 08:40 tesla-sample-dir/
drwxr-xr-x 3 fuser fuser33 May 30 08:40 tesla-sample-dir/
Variable File
/ansible_scripts/vars/vars_carmodel_file.yml
car_dirname:
- honda
- toyota
- tesla
Playbook File
- name: Create and copy folder
hosts: all
become_user: fuser
vars_files:
- /ansible_scripts/vars/vars_carmodel_file.yml
vars:
fuser_dirname: (( fuser_folder ))-sample-dir
tasks:
- name: create
file:
path: "/home/mule/{{ fuser_dirname }}"
mode: 0755
state: directory
- name: copy
copy:
src: "/home/fuser/{{ fuser_dirname }}/"
dest: "/apps/{{ fuser_dirname }}"
Any help and guidance are much appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.
