I need advice on speeding up this task:
- name: "restore files to {{ location }}"
ansible.builtin.copy:
src: "/home/ian/backup/hobson42/var/www/ianhobson.com/"
dest: "{{ location }}"
It copies 5022 files, totalling 109.2Mb, and even though both machines
have NVME SSDs and the network is quiet,
the task takes over 30 minutes! Note - some of the files are owned by
root, and have "600" permissions, which need to be preserved.
I'd recommend to avoid copying thousands of files.
Ideas to try:
- Trigger rsync [1] if most of the files are static
- Pack the files into a single tar.gz and transfer and extract that [2][3]
Ciao, Michael.
