Hi,
I am new to Ansible and am having difficulty in understanding how a loop
created with a 'with_dict' directive can be filtered based upon values
within the dictionary.
For instance, I want a dictionary of users that need to be put into a
specific state, e.g.:
users:
testuser1: {state: absent, public_key_file: "../keys/dev-env.pub"}
testuser2: {state: present, public_key_file: "../keys/dev-env.pub"}
I then have a task that loops over this map:
- name: Manage Users
user:
name={{ item.key }}
state={{ item.value.state }}
remove=yes
with_dict: users | default({})
This will add or remove users depending on the 'users' dictionary (e.g.
testuser1 will be removed and testuser2 created)
I now want to use the same data definition to loop over users and put any
authorized keys in place:
- name: Deploy User Keys
sudo: yes
authorized_key:
user={{ item.key }}
key="{{ lookup('file', item.value.public_key_file) }}"
with_dict: users | default({})
this would work apart from the fact that the 'testuser1' home dir no longer
exists.
What I would like to do is to skip users with a 'state' of 'absent'. Is
there a way to do this or am I going about this in completely the wrong
way?
Thanks,
Dave.
