[Prady A]

Hello experts 

I ve simple piece of below code 

    - Name: Install rsync on the Target
      package:
        name: rsync
        state: present
    
    - Name: Synchronize file from local to remote   
      synchronize:
         src: /tmp/memo.txt
         dest: /temp/test

code I can run the code using ansible-playbook command but when I am executing it via ansible automation platform gui it is giving me the below error

Message . No file error. 

cmd": "/usr/bin/rsync --delay-updates -F --compress --archive --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -S none -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null' --out-format='<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L' /tmp/memo.txt root@xyz1234:/tmp/test",  "msg": "Warning: Permanently added 'xyz1234,148.168.65.73' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.\r\nWARNING!\n                          This system, owned by the Company, may be used only by authorized personnel for authorized purposes.

Though I kept /tmp/memo.txt in both control node and execution node still the error persist. Kindly suggest 

Thanks

AAP uses execution environments which are containers. If /tmp/memo.txt is not known to the container the task will fail.

Hii

If it really is just one file, you can use the copy module...

[Prady A]

Thank you for your direction and suggestion..

actually we want to sync http folder not a file 

Is there any way I can sync between 2 servers.?

You can, with the synchronize module. But as explained above, your specific setup includes containers, so that needs some work. What exactly depends on your setup, if you can mount volumes, etc. Something that is known to you. IIRC the product you are using (AAP) includes support, so that would be the most logical thing to try.

If you folder is not too big you can still use the copy module:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/copy_module.html#parameter-src

You should experiment a bit with that.

Hi Dick

Thank you for the directions. If I not wrong all AAP uses containers to execute the templates and this is not specific to me. I m not sure why ansible AAP provided which does not work in the out of box bundle. let me chk with RH support..

Thank a lot again..

If the files to sync are part of the project that includes the playbook then it is present inside the container. If the files / folder to sync reside elsewhere, you need to delegate that task(s) to that source system where they reside that you want to sync.

Again, if the source is part of the project then it will be visible to the playbook. If it is not you need to delegate_to the source host and provide the correct source path for the source host.
