Ansible Role: Sanoid

This Ansible role helps you install and set up Sanoid for automatic ZFS snapshots.

Role Variables

Here are some variables you can find in defaults/main.yml.

sanoid_package: sanoid

This is the package to install. Normally, you don’t need to change this.

sanoid_templates:
  - name: example
    frequently: 0
    hourly: 24
    daily: 7
    monthly: 12
    yearly: 0
    autosnap: "yes"
    autoprune: "yes"

This is a list of Sanoid backup templates. The example shows the options you can use. Remember to include quotes around "yes".

sanoid_datasets:
  - name: example
    use_template: example
    recursive: "yes"
    process_children_only: "yes"
    yearly: 1

This is a list of datasets for which you want to take snapshots. The example provides some options you can choose from, and you can also use options from sanoid_templates. Again, quotes around "yes" are necessary.

- hosts: all
