Inspired by this post, I finally find the way to sync a directory include template files to remote.
Put you files in {{ role_path }}/files/, if you need to put in another directory, please replace all the role_path variable.
- name: "Create temporary directory"
local_action: tempfile state=directory
register: temp_file_path
- name: "Find j2 files"
local_action:
module: find
paths: "{{ role_path }}/files/"
patterns: "*.j2"
file_type: file
use_regex: no
recurse: yes
register: files_j2
- name: "Find normal files"
local_action:
module: find
paths: "{{ role_path }}/files/"
excludes: "*.j2"
file_type: file
use_regex: no
recurse: yes
register: files_normal
- name: "Ensure directory exists"
local_action:
module: file
path: "{{ item.path | replace(role_path + '/files', temp_file_path.path) | dirname }}"
state: directory
with_items:
- "{{ files_j2.files }}"
- "{{ files_normal.files }}"
- name: "Copy templates files"
local_action:
module: template
src: "{{ item.path }}"
mode: "preserve"
dest: "{{ item.path | replace(role_path + '/files', temp_file_path.path) | regex_replace('.j2$', '') }}"
with_items: "{{ files_j2.files }}"
- name: "Copy normal files to temp directory"
local_action:
module: template
src: "{{ item.path }}"
mode: "preserve"
dest: "{{ item.path | replace(role_path + '/files', temp_file_path.path) }}"
with_items: "{{ files_normal.files }}"
- name: "Sync these to the destination"
synchronize:
src: "{{ temp_file_path.path }}/"
dest: "{{ config_root }}/"
delete: yes
rsync_opts:
- "--chown=root:root"
