"msg": "Local object for PUT does not exist"

[Serin Abraham]

Hi,

I just started using ansible for sometime now. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I already created a s3 bucket successfully and then trying to upload a file(awscliv2.zip) to s3 bucket but it fails with below error

""msg": "Local object for PUT does not exist"

playbook looks like below:

---

- hosts: xyz

   remote_user: root

   tasks: 

  - name: upload to s3 bucket abc

     aws_s3:

       bucket: abc

       object: /awscliv2.zip (I dout i'm doing something wrong here, is this the dest path of s3?)

       src: /root/playbook/awscliv2.zip (src absolute file path in the host in which I run the playbook)

       mode: put

       

hope to get some hlp and learn ansible, thx alot guys!!

cheers
Serin

Remote_user I would do connection: local, also what's the folder permission on that playbook folder?

[Serin Abraham]

permission: public-read

[Serin Abraham]

root@master:~/playbook# cat create_s3.yml 

---

- hosts: ubuntu

  remote_user: root

  vars_files:

  - keys.yml

  tasks: 

  - name: create a s3 bucket

    aws_s3: 

      aws_access_key: "{{ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}"

      aws_secret_key: "{{ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}"

      ec2_region: "{{ AWS_REGION }}"

      bucket: serin

      mode: create

      permission: public-read

  - name: upload a file to s3

    aws_s3:

      aws_access_key: "{{ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}"

      aws_secret_key: "{{ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}" 

      ec2_region: "{{ AWS_REGION }}"

      bucket: serin

      mode: put

      object: /serin.txt

      src: /root/playbook/serin.txt

      permission: public-read

According to the docs aws modules should be run against localhost:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/guide_aws.html

Please try that.

Also running ansible as root is both unnecessary and unsafe. So once you got things to work at all, take it a step further and fix that as well.

thank you Dick it worked. 

I'm using root since its just for practise. anyway I will be mindful of that. 

but the thing is I was able to install a ec2 and create a s3 bucket without localhost. anyway will need to dig-in deeper.

thanks again and appreciate it and thanks David for your help as-well. Cheers

anyway i figured the actual problem. it was just the "src"(/root/playbook/serin.txt) file was not present in the targeted "hosts"(ubuntu).

simple issue but i guess this is how we learn :)
