Ansible : Use Playbook (when)2024/07/31 |
|
To use [when], [failed_when], it's possible to write branch condition in Ansible Playbook. |
|
| [1] | For example, create a Playbook which only if it does not exist [/var/www/html/index.html], create it on target hosts. |
|
ubuntu@dlp:~$
vi playbook_sample.yml # set boolean with [failed_when], # create [index.html] if result of boolean is [1]
- hosts: target_servers
become: yes
become_method: sudo
tasks:
- name: index file exists or not
shell: test -f /var/www/html/index.html
ignore_errors: true
register: file_exists
failed_when: file_exists.rc not in [0, 1]
- name: put index.html
shell: echo "apache2 index" > /var/www/html/index.html
when: file_exists.rc == 1
