freehck.mkdir

Create a bunch of directories

Description

This role created a bunch of directories. Useful to add as a dependency for other roles.

Role Variables

mkdir_directories: list of directories to create, default is [].

The format of this list is common. It could be a list of strings like /path/to/dir, or a list of structures, like this one:

- path: <path>
  owner: <owner>
  group: <group>
  state: [present|absent]
  recurse: [true|false]

The only mandatory field in this structure is path, all the other can be omited. In this case default parameters will be used.

Default values of default parameters:

mkdir_default_owner: root

mkdir_default_group: root

mkdir_default_mode: 0755

mkdir_default_state: present

mkdir_default_recurse: true

If you need to create a bunch of directories with the same owner, group, etc... feel free to change mkdir_defaul_* parameters.

Example

- role: freehck.mkdir
  mkdir_directories:
    - path: /data/dir1
      owner: root
      group: root
      state: present
      recurse: true
    - path: /data/dir2
    - /data/dir3

Install

This role can be installed from Ansible Galaxy:

ansible-galaxy install freehck.mkdir

Known issues

1. recurse: true that is the default in this role, leads the job status to be always changed: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/32636
