Ansible Templates
- Ansible uses jinja2 for templating Refer Here
- In ansible to use the variables we use expression
{{ variable_name }}which is derived from templating language jinja2 - jinja2 also has wide filters
- We can use jinja2 in files so that the content can be dynamic
- we have created a sample template with simple text. Refer Here for the chagnes
- Refer Here for the changes in tomcat where we have used template rather than static file for users.xml
- Refer Here for the changes done to remove duplicate service file
- Tomcat was not running due to permission issues, so ensured permissions are checked every time Refer Here for the changes
- Refer Here for the optional update added for ubuntu instance
-
Make changes in the tomcat playbook to use
find /opt/tomcat/latest/bin' -name '*.sh'and use register variable and loop to apply execute permissions to all the shell files - For finding files use
ansible.builtin.findmodule, use register variable and figure out a module to change the file permissions.
