I would try and organize variables so they are associated with the host in
inventory, rather than setting a lot of playbook vars
# ansible inventory (notice both hosts in a group called 'appservers' )
[appservers]
app_server_node1 appprops_file=node1-appprops.config
app_server_node2 appprops_file=node2-appprops.config
*Playbook YML File (running by different user)*
---
- name: Test Template
hosts: appservers
tasks:
- name: Copying the properties file
copy:
src: '/ConfigurationFolder/WrapperConfig/temp/{{appprops_file}}'
dest: '/appserver/instance/conf/app_properties.conf'
owner: app1
group: app1
mode: 0644
Ansible will put
*/ConfigurationFolder/WrapperConfig/temp/*node1-appprops.config
on node1 and */ConfigurationFolder/WrapperConfig/temp/*node2-appprops.config
onto node2. No need to use template as you can use the appprops_file
variable which is different for each host.
Hope this helps,
Jon
