Target multiple hosts with different configurations

0 votes

I have checked some similar questions but those questions don't answer mine.

I have three hosts:

  • host_abc_01
  • host_def_01
  • host_ghi_01

I want to create directories this way:

  • host_abc_01:

    • d:\abc\dir1\dir2
  • host_def_01:

    • d:\def\dir1\dir2
  • host_ghi_01:

    • d:\ghi\dir1\dir2

the only different is the directory name. the sub directories have the same name.

Instead of creating three different roles with own tasks and varfiles, is there any way to achieve this in one play?

- name: create project directory
  win_file:
    path: '{{ projects_volume }}\{{ item.proj_name }}'
  state: directory
  loop:
    - { proj_name: 'abc', when: "'abc' in inventory_hostname" }
    - { proj_name: 'def', when: "'def' in inventory_hostname" }
    - { proj_name: 'ghi', when: "'ghi' in inventory_hostname" }

But all directories are created on all hosts.

Any help would be appreciated.

You do not need three different roles to create three directories. You can use with_items module to create three different directories:

- hosts: all
  tasks:
  - name: ansible create multiple directory
    file:
      path: "{{ item }}"
      state: directory
    with_items:
      - '/d:/abc'
      - '/d:/def'
      - '/d:/ghi'

 - name: Sync the contents of one directory to another, including subdirectories
   win_robocopy:
     src: d:\abc\dir1
     dest: C:\def\dir1
     recurse: yes
