I have a file called packages.txt which contains a list of packages. I have to read each line of that package.txt through my ansible file rpm.yml. Here is my code
- hosts: myhost
tasks:
- name: RPM Filter
theforeman.foreman.content_view_filter:
username: "admin"
password: "admin"
server_url: "myhost"
name: "rpm filter"
organization: "myorg"
content_view: "My content view"
filter_type: "rpm"
package_name: "{{ item }}"
inclusion: True
loop:
- packages.txt
My packages.txt contains these
open-ssh
nginx
grafana
vim
Any help would be appreciated
You will need an additional task to read the file. The simplest way would be to cat
the file and register
into a variable. Then this variable can be used for the next task.
Something like:
- name: get contents of package.txt
command: "cat packages.txt"
register: _packages
- name: RPM Filter
theforeman.foreman.content_view_filter:
username: "admin"
password: "admin"
server_url: "myhost"
name: "rpm filter"
organization: "myorg"
content_view: "My content view"
filter_type: "rpm"
package_name: "{{ item }}"
inclusion: True
loop: "{{ _packages.stdout_lines }}"
