You are using "loop". This places the results in a list called "results" (ie
postgres.results). Use the literal path in stat and you will get the reference
you seek in the debug task.
- name: Get stats of a file
ansible.builtin.stat:
path: /opt/db/data
register: postgres
- name: return ownership is right
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "owned by postgres"
when: postgres.stat.pw_name == 'postgres'
OR
- name: Get stats of a file
ansible.builtin.stat:
path: "{{ item }}"
register: postgres
loop:
- /opt/db/data
- name: return ownership is right
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ item.item }} owned by postgres"
loop: "{{ postgres.results }}"
when:
- item.stat.exists == true
- item.stat.pw_name is defined
- item.stat.pw_name == 'postgres'
- name: return ownership is not right
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ item.item }} owned not by postgres"
loop: "{{ postgres.results }}"
when:
- item.stat.exists == true
- item.stat.pw_name is defined
- item.stat.pw_name != 'postgres'
- name: return does not exist
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ item.item }} does not exist"
loop: "{{ postgres.results }}"
when:
- item.stat.exists == false

I want to check for existence of a folder and also the right owner, group and
mode.
When any of the conditions (exists, owner=postgres, group=postgres, mode=0755)
does not meet requirements I want to stop and be notified of the reason.
I think I need stat for that (exists, isdir, gr_name, pw_name, mode)
As a first step I try to get the value of pg_name with debug, but can not
figure out how to adress that value

what I am doing wrong?
