Greetings…
I sparse cloned git into ansible container and like to setup a local repo.
I now need to tell ansible template where my repo is
I tried with just the /tmp/semaphore/repo/ where .git is but this is not working with local repo?
Can any tell my how to write the local repo path?
Thank you.
Hi,
We need a lot more info here, namely your playbook / tasks and the exact error message and/or behavior which lets you think it’s not working as expected.
What would “ansible template” be in this context, and what are your trying to achieve ? Also how ?
Hi Pierre,
Thank you for your answer.
Its just a question of how to write the path for a local repo:
So when I setup the repository for our gitlab repo:
ssh://git@our.gitlab.com:222/tech/tech.git it clones into /path/tech and then I points the playbook like /path/tech/path/path/etc/playbook.yml and the playbook works.
I now sparse checkout a part of git and put it here:
/path/tech/.git
My question is just how would you write the path to a local repo:
/path/tech or /path/tech/.git
and then point /path/tech/path/path/etc/playbook.yml or?
Do you use local repo your self?
Thank you.
Hi Car,
Its just a question of how to write the path for a local repo:
It really depends on how and where you plan to use this path; the module you’re using might expect a specific syntax for all I know.
Apart from that, a clone is a clone, sparse-checkout or not; the only difference being you might specify the items to track in your worktree.
What command or module (+parameters) did you use for your sparse-checkout ?
and then point /path/tech/path/path/etc/playbook.yml or?
If you decide to track this file in your sparse-checkedout repo, then it should be the same path as for a full clone.
Do you use local repo your self?
You mean clones in general ? Also what do you mean by ‘use’ ?
Hope it makes sense; if not, please provide more contextual info and I’ll try to complement my answer.
Hi Pierre,
I’m setting s up a new root project up in git and go with that.
Thank you for your help.
