Thats great. And could likely use this as is , at times, sometimes... but
the liklihood this gz bundle is exactly as we need it to be each time we
need it, is not likely.
What would be the recipe to creat this so can add delete chane parts as
needed.
I scrounged up this skeleton to create a remote installable archive to
upgrade ancible on remote host. Would executing something similar to this
as a playbook be part of how this gz is created ? Please comment. Thx
name: Archive the files
archive:
path: <path-to-folder>
dest: <dest-zip-path>
format: zip
delegate_to: localhost
become: false
