remote copy issue

[Rene Paquin]

I am attemping o copy a file from one remote linux server to two remote linux servers.  My playbook is:

 

- name: copy file

  hosts: “remote source server”

  gather_facts: false

 

  tasks:

    - name: "copy "

      copy:

        src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

        remote_src: yes

        dest: /var/alc

      delegate_to: destination server 1

      check_mode: yes

    - name: "copy "

      copy:

        src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

        remote_src: yes

        dest: /var/alc

      delegate_to: destination server 2

      check_mode: yes

 

I get the following error despite the file being there.

"msg": "Source /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv not found"

 

What am I missing?

 

Thank you,

as far as I am aware of things delegate_to is located above the module name

  tasks:

    - name: "copy "

      delegate_to: destination server 1

      copy:

        src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

        remote_src: yes

        dest: /var/alc

      check_mode: yes

I am still quite new to Ansible, so this is not founded on tons of experience though.

Thank you for the response.  I made the change but still getting the same error.

Further to this I created a quick check for file playbook as below and it does find it and displays the content successfully.  So the copy script is just not functional.  Any ideas as to why it does not find the file?

 

 

 

- name: check if file exists

  hosts: source server

  gather_facts: true

 

  tasks:

    - stat:

        path: /opt/odrive/alc/library

      register: result

    - slurp:

        src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

      register: result

      when: result.stat.exists

    - debug:

        msg: "{{ result.content|b64decode }}"

The copy module only supports the controller or target itself (remote_src) for the source file.

Take a look at the synchronize module if you want copy from one target to another.

I have changed my playbook to use the sync module. But again I am getting errors. Check mode is so I can test before the actual sync. I am using the ansible.posix.synchronize module which I downloaded and installed.

Playbook
---
- name: copy file
hosts: source server
gather_facts: false

tasks:
- name: "copy libraryusername.csv from source to dest"
ansible.posix.synchronize:
src: "/opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv"
dest: "rsync://destinationserver.wlu.ca/var/alc"
delegate_to: source server
check_mode: yes
...

The error I am getting is:

fatal: source server -> ictjobsub01.wlu.ca]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "/usr/bin/rsync --delay-updates -F --compress --dry-run --archive --out-format='<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L' /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv rsync://destinationserver/var/alc", "msg": "rsync: failed to connect to destinationserver (xx.xx.xx.xx): No route to host (113)\nrsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(125) [sender=3.1.2]\n", "rc": 10}

I can ssh from the source server to destination server and vice versa so not understanding the no route to host issue.

Thanks,
Rene
