Ansible 筆記 - 找尋本機端資源並部署至遠端機器，包含複雜 shell 指令、資源尋找錯誤處理、hosts 之間變數傳遞等

這個需求其實還滿簡單實現的，但為了想要達成更仔細的錯誤偵測，後來越改越複雜 XD 順便筆記一下。完整的使用情境：每次部署遠端機器前，本地端會有一個 package 產出(rpm)，透過 find 指令找到最新產出的 package 後，再部署到遠端機器（其實也可以把架設 yum server 來搞定啦 XD）

最簡單的方式，使用 vars 紀錄：

- hosts: YourTargetServers

  vars:
    rpm_dir: "/data/rpm/production/"
    rpm_name_prefix: "packagename*"
    rpm_find_command: "find {{ rpm_dir }} -name '{{ rpm_name_prefix }}' -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -n | tail -1 | cut -f2- -d ' ' "
    rpm_path: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'rpm_find_command') }}"

  tasks:
    - name: find rpm prefix name
      debug: msg="{{rpm_name_prefix}}"

    - name: find rpm command
      debug: msg="{{rpm_find_command}}"

    - name: find rpm path
      debug: msg="{{rpm_path}}"

這樣算是收工了，但是 rpm_path 若沒找到時，卻無法有洽當的錯誤偵測 Orz

所以第一次再改成這招：

- hosts: YourTargetServers

  vars:
    rpm_dir: "/data/rpm/production/"
    rpm_name_prefix: "packagename*"
    rpm_find_command: "find {{ rpm_dir }} -name '{{ rpm_name_prefix }}' -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -n | tail -1 | cut -f2- -d ' ' "

  tasks:
    - name: find rpm prefix name
      debug: msg="{{rpm_name_prefix}}"

    - name: find rpm command
      debug: msg="{{rpm_find_command}}"

    - name: find rpm path
      local_action: command /bin/bash -c "{{ rpm_find_command }}"
      sudo: False
      failed_when: " '' != rpm_path_result.stderr"

    - name: get rpm path
      debug: msg="{{ rpm_path_result.stdout }}"

但這樣仍有個缺點，那就是若有 roles 等一堆工作，會變成那堆工作做完才會跑 tasks，這時就會希望先偵測本地端的資料在跑 roles 工作，於是乎又改成：

- hosts: loclahost

  vars:
    rpm_dir: "/data/rpm/production/"
    rpm_name_prefix: "packagename*"
    rpm_find_command: "find {{ rpm_dir }} -name '{{ rpm_name_prefix }}' -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -n | tail -1 | cut -f2- -d ' ' "

  tasks:
    - name: find rpm prefix name
      debug: msg="{{rpm_name_prefix}}"

    - name: find rpm command
      debug: msg="{{rpm_find_command}}"

    - name: find rpm path
      local_action: command /bin/bash -c "{{ rpm_find_command }}"
      failed_when: " '' != rpm_path_result.stderr"

    - name: get rpm path
      debug: msg="{{ rpm_path_result.stdout }}"

- hosts: YourTargetServers

  vars:
    rpm_path: "{{ hostvars['localhost']['rpm_path_result']['stdout'] }}"

  tasks:
    - name: find rpm path
      debug: msg="{{rpm_path}}"

如此一來，就可以先確保在 localhost 把資源準備齊了，再進行遠端部署動作，也包含偵錯處理啦。
