I'm setting fact in a role:
- name: Check if manager already configured
shell: >
docker info | perl -ne 'print "$1" if /Swarm: (\w+)/'
register: swarm_status
- name: Init cluster
shell: >-
docker swarm init
--advertise-addr "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}"
when: "'active' not in swarm_status.stdout_lines"
- name: Get worker token
shell: docker swarm join-token -q worker
register: worker_token_result
- set_fact:
worker_token: "{{ worker_token_result.stdout }}"
Then I want to access worker_token on another hosts. Here's my main playbook, the fact is defined in the swarm-master role
- hosts: swarm_cluster
become: yes
roles:
- docker
- hosts: swarm_cluster:&manager
become: yes
roles:
- swarm-master
- hosts: swarm_cluster:&node
become: yes
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "{{ worker_token }}"
I'm getting undefined variable. How to make it visible globally? Of course it works perfectly if I run debug on the same host.
if your goal is just to access worker_token
from on another host, you can use hostvars
variable and iterate through the group where you've defined your variable like this:
- hosts: swarm_cluster:&node
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "{{ hostvars[item]['worker_token'] }}"
with_items: "{{ groups['manager'] }}"
If your goal is to define the variable globally, you can add a step to define a variable on all hosts like this:
- hosts: all
tasks:
- set_fact:
worker_token_global: "{{ hostvars[item]['worker_token'] }}"
with_items: "{{ groups['manager'] }}"
- hosts: swarm_cluster:&node
tasks:
- debug:
var: worker_token_global
