It seems like you can't have multiple copy/template operations under one
name. I'm not sure if this is a YAML standard or an Ansible issue. I made
these files into templates and split the template operations out under two
names. Now it works. A little annoying but I did realize this was a
limitation when dealing with some apache configs. Here is the
tasks/main.yml file now:
---
- name: Install ddclient
apt: name={{ item }} state=latest
with_items:
- ddclient
- name: Copy ddclient configurations to server
template:
src=~/ansible/roles/pi_ddclient/templates/ddclient.conf.j2
dest=/etc/ddclient.conf owner=root group=root mode=0600 backup=yes
- name: Copy /etc/default/ddclient to server
template:
src=~/ansible/roles/pi_ddclient/templates/ddclient.j2
dest=/etc/default/ddclient owner=root group=root mode=0600 backup=yes
notify: restart ddclient
Works fine now. Thanks for the help!
