Unarchive - using wildcards in 'src' option

Get Help
2

I’m unable to test since download.sonatype.com is blocked by my company firewall, but I think you can just register the get_url: task to discover what the resulting filename was. Then unarchive the variable name.

Something like:

- name: get nexus 
      ansible.builtin.get_url: 
        url: https://download.sonatype.com/nexus/3/latest-unix.tar.gz
        dest: /tmp/
        owner: "{{ app_name }}"
        group: "{{ app_name }}"
      register: nexus

    - name: unpack nexus.tar
      ansible.builtin.unarchive:
        src: "{{ nexus.dest }}"
        dest: "/opt/"
        owner: "{{ app_name }}"
        group: "{{ app_name }}"
        remote_src: true
        mode: 0700
