I am attemping o copy a file from one remote linux server to two remote linux servers. My playbook is:

  • name: copy file

hosts: “remote source server”

gather_facts: false

tasks:

  • name: "copy "

copy:

src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

remote_src: yes

dest: /var/alc

delegate_to: destination server 1

check_mode: yes

  • name: "copy "

copy:

src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

remote_src: yes

dest: /var/alc

delegate_to: destination server 2

check_mode: yes

I get the following error despite the file being there.

“msg”: “Source /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv not found”

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Thank you for the response. I made the change but still getting the same error.

Further to this I created a quick check for file playbook as below and it does find it and displays the content successfully. So the copy script is just not functional. Any ideas as to why it does not find the file?

  • name: check if file exists

hosts: source server

gather_facts: true

tasks:

  • stat:

path: /opt/odrive/alc/library

register: result

  • slurp:

src: /opt/odrive/alc/library/libraryusername.csv

register: result

when: result.stat.exists

  • debug:

msg: “{{ result.content|b64decode }}”

The copy module only supports the controller or target itself (remote_src) for the source file.

Take a look at the synchronize module if you want copy from one target to another.

I have changed my playbook to use the sync module. But again I am getting errors. Check mode is so I can test before the actual sync. I am using the ansible.posix.synchronize module which I downloaded and installed.
