Synchronize module failing

[Prady A]

Hi Experts

One doubt with synchronize module 

 - name: Unix common script deployment

    synchronize: 

          src: “{{ playbook_dir }}/shellscript” 

          Dest: /tmp/patch_impl 

     delegation_to: all

 In this ansible code it is failing because to run synchronize we need rsynch module in both control as well as managed nodes. But to overcome that can we use container method? Inside the requirement.txt can we add rsync module to build a image out it and use in the template? 

 My container file structure 

 1. _build/requirement.txt 

 2. Contanerfile 

 3. krb5.conf 

 4. pip.conf 

 5. uib.repo

Regards 

Prady

You can use whatever you want, as long as there will be a working rsync command on both control and managed nodes.

Thank you for your kind reply 

No some target machine don’t have rsync installed.

What to do in that case ?

install rsync on the target machines before using the synchronize
module. (For example using the ansible.builtin.package action:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/package_module.html.)

Best regards,
