I’m trying to generate pgp keys. Can’t find anything with Ansible to do it so I’m using Linux commands. If the keys are already generated, I don’t want them to be generated again. So, I need to use ‘creates’.
I found this site: https://u.osu.edu/hasnan.1/2013/12/16/ansible-run-multiple-commands-using-command-module-and-with-items/
Looks good but it doesn’t work with Ansible version 1.7.1.
This is what I’m trying:
- name: Generate PGP keys
sudo: no
command: “{{item}}”
with_items: - cd /home/dfr/.gnupg
- gpg --homedir /home/dfr/.gnupg --batch --gen-key /home/dfr/reprepro/pgp-keygen-params creates=/home/dfr/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
It produces: A variable inserted a new parameter into the module args. Be sure to quote variables if they contain equal signs (for example: “{{var}}”).
Can you help me? Preferred response:
- Don’t be silly. Ansible does this easily this way…
- Otherwise, how to get the ‘creates’ to work.
Thanks,
Todd
