Can I modify Ansible 'remote_tmp' on a per task basis?

I am running some tasks with delegate_to. When those tasks run, they use the same remote_tmp directory setup from the ansible.cfg.
However, due to permissions and directory size issues, I need to change the remote_tmp directory for tasks that I am using delegate_to for.

Example:

  • name: Create Temp Dir

delegate_to: localhost

file:

path: “{{ my_temp_dir }}”

state: directory

I am using Ansible 2.3.2.

Thanks for any help!
