Could not find or access a file that is in the local directory
Solution only for "Files"
okay, I am gonna keep this, just in case someone will stumble upon the same problem as I did ... the thing i messed up is that src:
is looking into the roles templates
files ... the error has told me that its accessing the full path
which is not true ... its accessing only a templates
file and it continues from there ...
fixed code:
- name: Copying required files
template:
src: docker-compose.yml
dest: /tmp/docker_registry

I have got an error in my project, when I am trying to copy from local directory to remote one
error message:
fatal: [xxx]: FAILED! => { "changed": false, "msg": "could not find src=/Users/xxx/Desktop/Docker/The_Task/./roles/docker_registry/templates, Could not find or access '/Users/xxx/Desktop/Docker/The_Task/./roles/docker_registry/templates' on the Ansible Controller.\n If you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the remote_src option" }
playbook.yml
- name: Copying required files template: src: ./roles/docker_registry/templates dest: /tmp/docker_registry
if i do:
cd /Users/xxx/Desktop/Docker/The_Task/./roles/docker_registry/templates
it changes directory to the directory i want to ... the error seems to be from ansible side. ( it doesnt work with absolute path eighter )
if I use the default copy module, then it works pretty much fine
- name: copy files [local -> remote] copy: src: ./roles/docker_registry/templates dest: /tmp/docker_registry
any idea what should i do to make it work ? [ its copying from LOCAL -> REMOTE ]
But still i can not copy the whole dir into the remote machine
