Hello Community

I am using the following guide to help me create a custom module:

[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev\_guide/developing\_modules\_general.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html)

Can someone let me know if its possible to add multiple custom modules to a single module file?

Cheers

Carlton

Hello,

Having reviewed the document, I have realized that I haven’t actually created a custom module.

Therefore, I would like to revise this question and ask if someone could show me where to place a custom module. The guide below doesn’t help.

Thanks

Edit ansible.cfg to add library = where is where your modules are.

Otherwise you can place them in ~/.ansible/plugins/modules as it is the default directory.
