Correct way of license file management in Ansible?

[Vincent Hardion]

Hi,

I want to manage the license file (the license key of proprietary software) within Ansible for each host.

There is few resource on the web on this subject or maybe I use the wrong vocabulary.

So can someone tell me if there is a better ansible way to handle this case.

Here is what is working at this moment:

*roles/license/tasks/main.yml:
---
- debug: var=file
- copy: src={{ file }} dest=/var/license.lic

*roles/license/defaults/main.yml:
---
file: host_files/{{ inventory_hostname }}/license.lic

*hosts:

127.0.0.1

The license file for each host is kept in the arbitrary directory 'host_files', like:

host_files/127.0.0.1/license.lic

Thank in advance for your advice,

Vincent

This looks like an *excellent* way to do it if they are going to vary by host.
