I am currently trying to copy a directories contents to a new directory so

My playbook likes like this.

- hosts: some-server-name
become: true
become_method: sudo
tasks:
- name: Create backup directory on remote server/servers
file: path=/var/certs/certbkup
state=present
owner=root
group=some-group
mode=744
- name: list directory specific contents
shell: ls *.crt *.cer *.jks *.p12 /var/certs
register: cert_results
- name: copy list results to new folder
command: cp {{item}} /var/certs/certbkup
with_items: cert_results.stdout_lines
You have several option:
- name: list directory specific contents
shell: ls *.crt *.cer *.jks *.p12
args:
chdir: /var/certs
register: cert_results
- name: copy list results to new folder
command: cp {{item}} /var/certs/certbkup
args:
chdir: /var/certs
with_items: cert_results.stdout_lines
or just do in in one go
- name: backup files
shell: cp *.crt *.cer *.jks *.p12 /var/certs/certbkup
args:
chdir: /var/certs
If you are copy all the files under /var/certs but not the directories I
also think this would work (not tested).
- name: backup files
synchronize:
src=/var/certs/
dest=/var/certs/certbkup/
recursive=no
