How can I use conditional execution in Ansible?
You can use the when
clause in your tasks to execute them conditionally based on the results of previous tasks or variables.
Can you give me an example of that?
Sure! Here's a simple example:
- name: Install package only if not already installed
apt:
name: nginx
state: present
when: ansible_facts['pkg_mgr'] == 'apt'
What if I want to check multiple conditions?
You can combine conditions using logical operators like and
, or
. For example:
when: ansible_facts['pkg_mgr'] == 'apt' and ansible_facts['os_family'] == 'Debian'
