I have a folder on a remote that looks like this.
> ls -la
-rw-rw-r--. 1 postgres postgres 469 15. Aug 12:37 220815.sql
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 postgres postgres 82 30. Dez 2015 client-postgres
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 2327 16. Sep 14:26 logfile
-rw-rw-r--. 1 postgres postgres 0 10. Aug 08:46 new_bindir
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 postgres postgres 497 2. Mär 2021 .pg.env
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 680 16. Sep 13:07 .pg-service10.env
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 680 16. Sep 13:08 .pg-service11.env
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 680 16. Sep 16:25 .pg-service15.env
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 708 16. Sep 11:27 .pg-service_name.env
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 692 16. Sep 12:36 .pg-servicename.env
-rw-------. 1 postgres postgres 1050 16. Sep 11:27 .pg-service_name.env.bak
-rw-r--r--. 1 postgres postgres 797 18. Okt 2021 postgresql_rpm.service
-rw-r--r--. 1 postgres postgres 855 28. Okt 2021 postgresql.service
now I need to fetch all files from that folder matching the .pg-*.service pattern (resulting into fetching 6 files as per this example). The playbook is runnning against a single host.
however it looks as the logig as i.e. a locale cat (cat pg*.env
) is not interpreted right by ansible. and the below does not work because a file named /opt/db/postgres/bin/.pg*env
does not exist.
- name: fetch all .env files to fetched
ansible.builtin.fetch:
src: /opt/db/postgres/bin/.pg*env
dest: fetched/
flat: true
become: yes
I can not use a loop because i can not predict the explicit file names. I only know their names follow that pattern mentioned above.
What is the trick here?
