overview

given a certain role, there are 2 folders to store variables, namely

• [role root]/default
• [role root]/vars

by default there is an empty main.yml there.

storing all vars inside either of them will get messy easily, so it gets natural to group vars by different files.

but, trying to import / include them inside main.yml won’t work.

the trick to load them all

create these folders :

[role root]/default/main/
[role root]/default/vars/

and put relevant files / folder(s) of files inside accordingly.

1. add url to repo ( according to .git/config ) and local destination file path

• target file : set-facts-repo.yaml
• file path : [ansible-repo-root]/etc/playbooks/roles/maintenance/tasks/git/tasks

2. add the above facts to the git pull loop

• target file : git-pull.yaml
• file path : [ansible-repo-root]/etc/playbooks/roles/maintenance/tasks/git
