Mount file share based on variable in loop

[Tim Shubitz]

Greetings, folks!

I'm trying to have one single source-of-truth for file share info and mount individual shares on different servers depending on need.

Give a list of "these servers get these shares, those get those" and from that list loop over what to configure and mount.

I've been trying to use some magic via a 'when' conditional to configure and mount but nothing has gelled.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful rest of your day!

Example setup...

vars:

    app_server_mounts:

    - share0

    - share2

    utility_server_mounts:

        - share2

    cifs_file_share_mounts:

    - path: /mnt/share0

      src_host: nas.example.com

      src_path: share0

      fstype: cifs

      opts: sec=ntlmsspi,vers=3.0,rsize=61440,wsize=65536

      state: mounted

    - path: /mnt/share1

      src_host: nas.example.com

      src_path: share1

      fstype: cifs

      opts: sec=ntlmsspi,vers=3.0,rsize=61440,wsize=65536

      state: mounted

    - path: /mnt/share2

      src_host: nas.example.com

      src_path: share2

      fstype: cifs

      opts: sec=ntlmsspi,vers=3.0,rsize=61440,wsize=65536

      state: mounted

tasks:

    - name: Mount CIFS file shares

      mount:

        path: "{{ item.path }}"

        src: "//{{ item.src_host }}/{{ item.src_path }}"

        fstype: cifs

        opts: "{{ item.opts }}"

        state: "{{ item.state | default( 'mounted' ) }}"

     with_items: "{{ cifs_file_share_mounts }}"

I actually do this very thing. I have a role that just loops through a var inside the role. That role just uses the Mount task. With a lip. The role runs off the var exists. I can dig up the structure of it may help. On my phone now.

Wei-Yen,
With the quickness!

Looking forward to your code snippets.

Thanks!

Hi Tim,

data structure in inventory (i use AWX) so just look at os_directory_file_items and mount_list

___

         - name: plceholder1

           path: /mnt/placeholder

           state: directory

        

         - name: Placeholder2

           path: /mnt/Placeholder2

           state: directory

      mount_list:
