module: template
|
|
version_added: historical
|
|
short_description: Templates a file out to a remote server.
|
|
description:
|
|
- Templates are processed by the Jinja2 templating language
|
|
(U(http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/)) - documentation on the template
|
|
formatting can be found in the Template Designer Documentation
|
|
(U(http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/)).
|
|
- "Six additional variables can be used in templates: C(ansible_managed)
|
|
(configurable via the C(defaults) section of C(ansible.cfg)) contains a string
|
|
which can be used to describe the template name, host, modification time of the
|
|
template file and the owner uid, C(template_host) contains the node name of
|
|
the template's machine, C(template_uid) the owner, C(template_path) the
|
|
absolute path of the template, C(template_fullpath) is the absolute path of the
|
|
template, and C(template_run_date) is the date that the template was rendered. Note that including
|
|
a string that uses a date in the template will result in the template being marked 'changed'
|
|
each time."

options:
|

src:

description:
|
|
- Path of a Jinja2 formatted template on the Ansible controller. This can be a relative or absolute path.
|

required: true
|
|
dest:
|
|
description:
|
|
- Location to render the template to on the remote machine.
|
|
required: true
|
|
backup:
|
|
description:
|
|
- Create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can get
|
|
the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
|
|
required: false
|
|
choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
|
|
default: "no"
|
|
force:
|
|
description:
|
|
- the default is C(yes), which will replace the remote file when contents
|
|
are different than the source. If C(no), the file will only be transferred
|
|
if the destination does not exist.
|
|
required: false
|
|
choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
|
|
default: "yes"
|
|
notes:
|
|
- "Since Ansible version 0.9, templates are loaded with C(trim_blocks=True)."
|
|
- "Also, you can override jinja2 settings by adding a special header to template file.
|
|
i.e. C(#jinja2:variable_start_string:'[%' , variable_end_string:'%]', trim_blocks: False)
|
|
which changes the variable interpolation markers to [% var %] instead of {{ var }}.
|
|
This is the best way to prevent evaluation of things that look like, but should not be Jinja2.
|
|
raw/endraw in Jinja2 will not work as you expect because templates in Ansible are recursively evaluated."
