Ansible Series (9) Copy module

Copy Module

The role of the copy module in Ansible is to copy the files on the ansible execution machine to the remote node.
The reverse operation of the fetch module.

Common module parameters

Name of parameter	whether you must	Default Value	Options	Description
Src	No			The absolute path is required to locate the files on the machine that the ansible executes. If the copy is a folder, then the folder will be a whole copy, if the end is "/", then only the contents of the folder is passed. It all feels like rsync.
Content	No			Used instead of SRC to copy the contents of the specified file to a remote file
Dest	Yes			For locating files on a remote node, an absolute path is required. If SRC points to a folder, this parameter must also be a pointer to a folder
Backup	No	No	Yes/no	Back up the original files on the remote node before copying. If anything happens, the original file can be used.
Directory_mode	No			This parameter can only be used to copy folders, when this setting, the new files in the folder will be copied. And the old won't be copied.
Follow	No	No	Yes/no	When there is a link in the copied folder, then there will be a link in the copy of the past.
Force	No	Yes	Yes/no	The default is yes, overwriting remote files with different contents (possibly the same file name). If it is no, the file will not be copied, if the file is remotely
Group	No			Set a group to have file permissions for copying to a remote node
Mode	No			Equivalent to chmod, parameter can be "u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r"
Owner	No			Set the file permissions that a user has copied to the remote node

Case

# Copy the/srv/myfiles/foo.conf file to the remote node/etc/foo.conf, and its owner is Foo, the group that owns it is Foo, and the permission is 0644- copy: src=/srv/myfiles/foo.conf dest=/etc/foo.conf owner=foo group=foo mode=0644 # as in the case above, the difference is just the way the permission is written- copy: src=/srv/myfiles/foo.conf dest=/etc/foo.conf owner=foo group=foo mode= "u= Rw,g=r,o=r " # another permission notation copy: src=/srv/myfiles/foo.conf dest=/etc/foo.conf owner=foo Group=foo Mode= "u+rw,g-wx,o-rwx" # Copy the/mine/ntp.conf to the remote node/etc/ntp.conf, and back up the/etc/ntp.conf of the remote node. - copy: src=/mine/ntp. conf dest=/etc/ntp. conf owner=root group=root mode= 644 Backup=yes
